Open Source Software and Medical Technical Projects

These are the slides with comments of my conference talk at MedConf 2012 in Lucerne: Software development without using open source software (OSS) is unthinkable in today’s world. This holds also for medical technical projects. This presentation is split into three parts. First we take a look at some myths and facts about open source software.

.NET Open Source Projects and Coding Guidelines

In my projects, we use a lot of open source libraries like Ninject, xUnit, Machine.Specifications, FluentAssertions, StyleCop, Moq, statLight, AgUnit and of course the project I lead myself: bbv.Common. These projects are really cool. But sometimes of course, we need something that they do not (yet) provide. Like adding Machine.Specification support in FluentAssertions or a faster runner for xUnit unit tests under silverlight with AgUnit and statLight. Therfore, we download the source code and...

How to select open source libraries

Sourceforge, codeplex and google code (to name a few) are often the first pages we visit to...
