Course code: WEB-23

Years with company: 6

Years programming: 35

Primary programming language: Python

Other programming languages: C++, Java, C#. Very occasionally C.

Unit test harnesses: None in C. I've used Catch with C++.

Something else: I don't really consider myself a C programmer. My first curly-brace language was C++, which I programmed in for many years. I've never needed to build a system in C from scratch, and usually reach for C++ if that's an option.

Test practice now: Unit tests where possible, running off target. I've tried using drivers, and test doubles, but found it difficult in C.

Target system: I'm not normally doing embedded outside of hobby projects. Most of the embedded programming I've done is AVR ATMega based using the gcc-avr toolchain. I've tinkered a bit with STM32.

Dev tools: In this context, gcc CLion, CMake.

Build time: 31-60 seconds

Coding standard: n/a

Function too long: When it fulfils more than one purpose without delegating to other functions.

Code reviews: Ad hoc.

Code time: 50

Test time: 30

Debug time: 20

Favorite thing about dev: I enjoy solving difficult problems. Occasionally I'm good at it.

Least favorite thing about dev: Hard to reproduce bugs.

Tdd knowledge: Red, green, refactor! I practice TDD when I'm uncertain about the direction I want to take.

Why are you attending: To learn about how to deliver training over the Internet, with strong curiosity about how the pros do embedded programming.
