Actions
I started my career as a consultant in telecom, monitoring Belgian Railways GSM-R network & the Tetra network of the Belgian Federal Police.
After just over a year I realized I missed coding & I became a .NET Developer for a small web agency. Going from ASP.NET Webforms to MVC, from jumping hoops moving from dotNet Framework 2.0 to 3.5 to 4.x to Core. 11 Years later I felt it was time for another change and I jumped back into consultancy, but as a dotNet developer this time round.
In 2023, my 5th year working for AllPhi, I became consultant coach. Relaying my experiences to our consultants and to everyone willing to listen.

Practical guidelines to improve your code readability (updated)
Software development is easy, if not for two things. Cache invalidation & how to correctly name stuff, and keeping your code readable by extension. Let's talk about the latter. In this talk I try to sketch where we mostly go wrong and how we can fix or, even better, avoid making the same mistakes. How we can use refactoring to improve readability, tips on code structuring and practical ideas on proper naming. Beware though, I might burst some convenient thought bubbles along the way.

To Moq or not to Stub, that is the question!
When done right, testing can speed up development enormously. However, from personal experience, I noticed we often do it poorly, if at all. Speaking from my own personal experiences, where did I go wrong, where did I notice teams go wrong, I will try to show how we can do it right.
If you are a really big fan of mocking all the things, this might not be a talk for you, because I probably won't change your mind. This is a talk for you if you would like to improve the way you write tests, if you have trouble defining just what is the system under test, or if you struggle with keeping tests efficient during code change cycles.
Session from 45 to 60 minutes.
