• Course: TDD for Embedded C
  • Date entered: 2014-07-01 13:46:19 UTC
  • Course rating: Excellent
  • Most useful learnings: A new way to look at problems that I had not considered before.
  • Concepts v exercises: Good balance
  • Presentation v discussion: Good balance
  • Course improvements: More conceptual explanation of what spies, mocks, and fakes are before doing exercises. I get the general idea, but still not quite sure what the differences are and how each one works. I felt as if I was going in blind to some of the exercises.
  • Exercise rating: Very Good
  • Exercise improvements: More conceptual explanation beforehand.
  • Instructor comments: Good speaker, very knowledgeable. I'd like to see your Dad's gun camera footage!
  • Better prepared: Much better
  • Start tomorrow: Currently working on a relatively small C# project for internal use where the consequences of defects are very low. Not sure the learning curve is worth it at this time.
  • Challenges to applying: Not many, other than the learning curve. We have management buy-in at least for embedded firmware.
  • Other comments: Pace was good. I liked the 9:00 start, could get some stuff done and be ready for class.
  • Legacy code workshop: No
  • Recommend to others: Yes
  • Quote permission: Yes
