Course rating:
Very Good
Most useful learnings:
The most useful thing I learned was the technique of starting simply and using the unit tests to validate every detail of the system. Then while you're building up the functionality, you always have a strong base to trust in.
Concepts v exercises:
Good balance
Presentation v discussion:
Good balance
Course improvements:
The course was great, thanks.
A small thing. I like to see an overview of the technique at the top of the slides, and maybe again in the middle of the presentations. Just helps me organize what I'm seeing.
Exercise rating:
Very Good
Exercise improvements:
The exercises were mostly very helpful and illustrated the points well.
I had a difficult time with the section on the mock. I think the problem was mostly me, because I had to change location during the day and lost my rhythm, having a hard time getting back into it. I had a difficult time with what the mock was doing and where tests were supposed to go and what I was supposed to be expanding. Maybe take a look at that section, see what others think, see if some clarity may be added.
Instructor comments:
James was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Thanks!
Better prepared:
Much better
Start tomorrow:
I may not be able to start tomorrow because mostly I work on existing code, and I need to become more familiar with our unit test structure. There is a push to create unit tests, but we're in the middle of the transition.
Challenges to applying:
Pre-existing code, little support, big push from managers to hurry.
