• Course: TDD for Embedded C
  • Date entered: 2016-08-10 19:29:04 UTC
  • 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
  • Recommend to others: Yes
  • Quote permission: Yes
