Favorite thing about dev: I like solving problems. Whether it's fixing a bug or implementing a new feature, it's still a problem to be solved

Least favorite thing about dev: Documentation Some documentation provides value for developers (both now, and in future) but other documentation exists only to meet a process checkbox

Tdd knowledge: Not much. Only that it involves defining the testcases before implementing the code, rather than writing tests against completed functionality

Why are you attending: I actually like the idea of TDD, so I want to know more about it.
