• Course: TDD for Embedded C
  • Date entered: 2022-12-05 23:28:05 UTC
  • Course rating: Excellent
  • Most useful learnings: The most useful thing was that I was able to experience the TDD methodology which is many lessons in one.
  • Concepts v exercises: Good balance
  • Presentation v discussion: Good balance
  • Course improvements: The instruction on the later exercises was not as clear and directed as the earlier exercises. I appreciate approximate time expectations listed in the module summary to help keep me on task and plan my day.
  • Exercise rating: Very Good
  • Exercise improvements: I like the DoJo but there are a LOT of creature comforts that are missing in that platform. But at the same time I didn't want to make the investment in offloading the exercise files into my own environment.
  • Instructor comments: James, I like your balance of instruction and humor. I liked hearing bits of your story and involvement with the early Agile and TDD days. You come across as authentic and are easy to understand.
  • Better prepared: Much better
  • Start tomorrow: Not quite tomorrow, but soon. I don't have CI setup for any projects yet. It's not easy to get the government to get with the times.
  • Challenges to applying: My office does their best but we are still subject to all the red tape of the government.
