Columbia Code Camp News

The Columbia Code Camp & SQL Saturday (C3S2) date has been pushed back until sometime early next year! Due to a vast number of other code camps and such happening around this time of year we thought it wise to reschedule.

We are still looking for volunteers so be sure to visit the code camp page for a little more information and to volunteer for the camp.

Topic – Code Contracts

Microsoft’s new “Code Contracts” for .Net allows parameter and output validation to be attached to functions and methods in a standardized, compiler and runtime checkable manner. This enables better validation at compile time, better error handling at runtime, and the automatic creation of unit tests. In this presentation, Justin James will show why “Code Contracts” are relevant to you and provide an overview of “Code Contracts.”

Presenter – Justin James

Justin James is an employee of Levit & James, Inc. in a multi-disciplinary role. He is also the lead blogger and host of TechRepublic’s “Programming and Development” blog.
