TickSpec is a lightweight Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) framework. You describe behaviour in plain text using the Gherkin business language, i.e. given, when, then. It is then easy to execute the behaviour against matching F# tick methods (let “tick method“ () = true) or attributed C# or F# methods.

The video looks at TickSpec, a lightweight Open Source BDD framework, which builds on Cucumber’s Gherkin business language. It presents plenty of live samples in Visual Studio, from a simple game all the way up to a fully fledged Silverlight Trading Application.

TickSpec is a lightweight Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework for F#. It describe behavior in plain text using the Gherkin business language: “given, when, then”.

Luke Hoban, the Program Manager for Microsoft’s F# Team, presents functional languages.

Tomas Petricek will talk about his most recent favorite F# programming area – reactive programming. This includes programming applications driven by events such as user interactions, messages received from other components or completion of asynchronous operations. Writing reactive applications has been difficult, because the application cannot control what is happening. Fortunately, F# provides some very nice techniques that we can use to deal with these problems. During this talk, Tomas will cover two techniques. We’ll start by looking at F# events and declarative approach for specifying event processing. Next, …
