Course:
TDD for Embedded C
Date entered:

Course rating:
Very Good
Most useful learnings:
reinforcement of the small steps approach and to try not and tackle too much at once and also perhaps to not get caught in doing too much mocking.
Concepts v exercises:
Good balance
Presentation v discussion:
Good balance
Course improvements:
I would have liked more examples/exercises regarding methods of low level TDD and where trainer felt it made sense or did not make sense to TDD. Perhaps more examples of pattern or anti-patterns of how to shim in TDD close to the hardware, etc.
Exercise rating:
Very Good
Exercise improvements:
overall not a lot of comment, at times I felt I needed to hold back and just do exactly what was mentioned for that item/test and then sometimes comments by instructor were it could have been more optimized, etc. But since I was purposely trying not to go farther than needed I did not do that, so perhaps some clarity on where/when to refactor.
Instructor comments:
No issues, seemed knowledgeable and well spoken, could be understood and was obviously passionate about the subjects.
Better prepared:
Bring it on!
Start tomorrow:
Yes, was already using but now hopefully have more practice and context
Challenges to applying:
Personally I don't code there but besides that I think the biggest issue of getting folks to adopt will be just getting them exposed to it and willing to try, more cultural than anything.
Other comments:
Lost some time due to website issues but that in itself was a teaching moment :)
Video was a bit lagged but the audio mostly came through ok.
Legacy code workshop:
No
