  • Course rating: Excellent
  • Most useful learnings: I really enjoyed every moment of James TDD remote learning and think it can help developers at any skill level. There were so many great lessons packed into the workshop, plus a variety of bonus and video material that is a must watch afterward. You can see how much time and passion James puts into the topic of TDD and is so eager to help his customers understand it.

  • Start tomorrow: I am already in the process of adopting TDD immediately after completing the course. I spent a day setting up my development environment so that I can compile and run tests with the click of a button, just like we did in Dojo. James' book has unfortunately moved to the back of my shelf in the last few years, but now it's back on my desk and will accompany me in my daily work in the near future.
  • Challenges to applying: Inspire colleagues to write unit tests as well to have more weight in convincing management.
  • Other comments: I became aware of this course precisely because it was offered in this form. I live in Germany, so it is not so easy - even in these times - to just attend a course locally. The time shift fit well into my everyday life, even if it was a bit exhausting to concentrate on the training after a long day at work. But I enjoyed every moment of it. Many thanks
