• Course: TDD for Embedded C
  • Date entered: 2015-02-19 18:48:19 UTC
  • Course rating: Very Good
  • Most useful learnings: The pattern to incrementally improve something while keeping the tests passing all the time.
  • Concepts v exercises: Good balance
  • Presentation v discussion: Good balance
  • Course improvements: James should have practiced drawing things before trying to draw a diagram with the whiteboard thing to present an idea. Since I catch on to ideas very quickly, watching him fumble around and take time to do something that wasn't very helpful to getting the idea across was painful.
  • Exercise rating: Excellent
  • Exercise improvements: Can't think of anything
  • Instructor comments: Should have discussed lunch break length during the "Formalities" part of the course. In Boise, getting lunch in 1/2 an hour was challenging. Would have preferred an hour.
  • Better prepared: Much better
  • Start tomorrow: I'm able to personally, but I can't because our TDD infrastructure is lacking. We currently cannot get the immediate feedback which is necessary for incrementalism - it is more like 5 minutes.
  • Challenges to applying: See above.
  • Other comments: Nope.
  • Legacy code workshop: No
  • Recommend to others: Yes
  • Quote permission: No
