Meeting Abstract: |
If you want to write ”clean code that works now“, you should look into test-driven development. In a nutshell, the idea of TDD is to first write automated tests, and only then write the code to pass the test. It is a simple and methodical way to write good code that is fully tested from the get-go; beyond that, it also promotes better design, and helps keep your sanity during projects. In this session, we will work together on a small example, using open-source tools like NUnit, to demonstrate TDD in action. My goal is to get you started with TDD, so that you are ready to use it the moment you leave the room. |
