Course code: CISCO-25

Years with company: 10

Years programming: 14

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Python, LUA

Unit test harnesses: CPPUtest, PyATS

Something else: I'm a software engineer with ~14 years of experience in software development (mainly in multinational companies). I feel I can still improve my C skills a lot, hence my desire to attend this class.

Test practice now: Proprietary Cisco framework, LUA based.

Target system: Both host and actual Cisco device.

Dev tools: Static analysis checker, address sanitizer, etc. As IDE it depends: on build machine I usually use the good old VIM with some interesting plugins, while for Python on my computer I usually use Visual Studio Code.

Build time: 11-30 seconds

Coding standard: Cisco IOS code development guidelines.

Function too long: When it doesn't fit the screen, I usually start questioning if I should split it.

Code reviews: Cisco Enterprise GitHub

Code time: 3

Test time: 5

Debug time: 2

Favorite thing about dev: It's a never ending learning process.

Least favorite thing about dev: Doing repetitive tasks.

Tdd knowledge: I know just the basic idea, namely all the dev is driven by testing - starting from one single test failing when there is no code yet and keep writing tests with expected functional behavior before actual code is in place.

Why are you attending: I want to improve my coding skills and write even better code.
