Favorite thing about dev: Working though the logic of creating and designing a system and seeing it perform as intended.

Least favorite thing about dev: Finding hidden bugs and edge cases.

Tdd knowledge: It's a process to build code through automated tests. The tests check each path of a decision tree, verify memory allocation, as well as force the writer to think through the function's external interface. It also keeps the functions targeted.

Why are you attending: I heard about TDD from a co-worker whose been using it on his own developments. I see the benefits to it and want to learn more.
