Course code: WEB-30

Years with company: 0

Years programming: 30

Primary programming language: Swift

Other programming languages: Started on FORTRAN did C for a while, did just a touch of C++ then years of Java with all types of scripting Perl/shell/html etc. lately Swift and iOS.

Unit test harnesses: JUnit, touched Nunit; now focusing on Apples XCT Xcode test.

Something else: I’m a sailor, a dog person, I’m married to Tracy we have no kids and hope to retire soon.

Test practice now: Experimentation constantly Much of the last iOS app I wrote was 90% UI and so it was constantly running in simulator.

Target system: IOS and Mac. Maybe Mac servers. Cloud servers.

Dev tools: Xcode What Unix tools I can remember Xcode simulator and instruments tool

Build time: Under 10 seconds

Coding standard: Hmm, I guess it’s following along the lines of a C based std. but way more wordy than the old days. Heck I just had to fix some misspelled words that broke the Apple compiler so bad it gave the wrong error messages

Function too long: When I’ve got to scroll the screen.

Code reviews: I’m currently a team of one. Except on a side project. Pair programming with Lance Kind and TDD.Academy.

Code time: 80

Test time: 18

Debug time: 2

Favorite thing about dev: Building things. That feeling of dopamine when it all comes togeather on a screen.

Least favorite thing about dev: Trying to remember one thousand details that are only needed for this one little bit of code that will be forgotten as soon as I can get it to work right.

Tdd knowledge: Kent beck and others invented it to make my life with code so much easier. If only I’d use it -ALL the time.

Why are you attending: I’m interested in how an expert teaches TDD and all the extras of a hard domain today.
