The document summarizes a presentation by Amir Barylko on using behavior driven development with ASP.NET MVC. It introduces BDD and its principles of implementing applications by describing behavior from a stakeholder perspective. It also discusses how traditional projects fail, the outside-in approach of BDD, and using Gherkin DSL to flush out requirements, documentation and automated testing. The presentation includes a BDD demo and lists resources for BDD tools.
