Favorite thing about dev: I enjoy the process of defining a problem, solving it, and seeing the result.

Least favorite thing about dev: I don't enjoy when things become overly complex and when debugging becomes the main task.

Tdd knowledge: TDD is developing software tests before developing production code and then writing code to pass those tests.

Why are you attending: 1. There is a free lunch (;. 2. I am interested in becoming a better coder and making this a larger part of what I get to do at work. Honestly, it seems like a very logical and easily implemented method to code more effectively.
