Course rating:
Excellent
Most useful learnings:
The TDD workflow and mindset, and the discussion on mocks/fakes.
Concepts v exercises:
Good balance
Presentation v discussion:
Good balance
Course improvements:
The provided / linked 'follow on' information seems good, but as I just completed the class -- I can't speak to them. Anything more in this area -- helping get up and running after the class -- would be very helpful.
Exercise rating:
Very Good
Exercise improvements:
I think an exercise where you work through adding tests to some 'existing legacy' code would be very helpful.
Instructor comments:
James is an excellent instructor. I wasn't sure how much individual guidance and help we would get from a remotely provided training, but it was excellent. The class setup and resources were excellent to teach the material and provide relevant, hands on experience and help when needed.
Better prepared:
Much better
Start tomorrow:
Yes.
Challenges to applying:
Getting over the 'its going to take longer' hump and the (extreme) incremental growth approach in TDD.
Other comments:
The cyber-dojo environment was very good, but it would be nice if the editor was a little more advanced -- auto completion, better tabbing, change markup, syntax colorization, etc. It was still fine, but I feel like we might have been able to get through a bit more if the editor were better.
Legacy code workshop:
No
