TDD for Embedded C

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.

Nope.
