Course: TDD for Embedded C/C++

Date entered: 2024-10-02 20:51:28 UTC

Course rating: Good

Most useful learnings: Seeing the fake it 'till you make it, quickly progressing TDD demo for the circular buffer. Learning about avoiding analysis paralysis and prioritising progress on the big ideas.

Concepts v exercises: Too many exercises

Presentation v discussion: Good balance

Course improvements: Videos were a bit too fast and not clearly enough explained for me. More visuals to point during a number of explanations would have been helpful. Lost me on some areas of the course e.g. end part where trying to test a legacy code unit.

Exercise rating: Very Good

Exercise improvements:

Instructor comments:

Better prepared: Much better

Start tomorrow: Yes

Challenges to applying: No challenges.

Other comments: I felt things were too rushed. I didn't have time to complete all the exercises or watch all the videos. The course didn't seem to flow from beginning to end, we jumped around a lot. I'm not sure if all this was a consequence of restricting a much longer course to 3 days. Liked Gather Town but audio and sometimes picture quality got in the way.

Legacy code workshop: No

Recommend to others: Yes
