  • Date entered: 2015-10-24 22:23:30 UTC
  • Course rating: Excellent
  • Most useful learnings: TDD will work for us.
  • Concepts v exercises: Good balance
  • Presentation v discussion: Good balance
  • Course improvements: Perhaps tailor the course a bit more to our organization and the participants. (I realize this might could be difficult).
  • Exercise rating: Excellent
  • Exercise improvements: Explain up front before the LightController lesson that there is some magic going on with the Makefile (link-time substitution) in order to make the LightControllerSpy work, and then explain exactly how it works after the coding session.
  • Instructor comments: James is very knowledgeable and experienced. He handled the diversity of personalities on our team very well.
  • Better prepared: Bring it on!
  • Start tomorrow: Yes. In fact, I can start today. I started applying the concepts on the very first line of code that I wrote after the course.
  • Challenges to applying: The analysis paralysis aspect of our culture. Fear of the unfamiliar that keeps people stuck in their ways.
  • Other comments: Schedule breaks at specific times so participants know when to expect them.
  • Legacy code workshop: Yes
  • Recommend to others: Yes
  • Quote permission: Yes
