DevClub on 4th of June, from 19:00 at Oru Hotel.

Changes in our tomorrow’s DevClub program!

At the weekend we got very sad e-mail that Pat Maddox had a dental procedure and due to some complications he can’t come this week to Tallinn. 

So we had to change the program. The event topic will remain the same – TDD.

We have confirmation from Andrei Solntsev from Codeborn, that he will do the practical TDD session. This workshop will be real programming – so please take your computers with you and IDE installed and be ready to code.

UI-TDD Workshop, Andrei Solntsev (Codeborn)
Testing is boring? Testing is time-consuming? Testing is for testers Forget it!

There is no separate coders or testers. The real software creator writes code and assures it’s working by writing automated tests. At “Software creator” workshop you will create a web application with TDD: first test, then code. Unlike typical TDD workshops, you will use both unit-tests and UI tests. Feel like a real craftsman!
Workshop requires that everyone in auditorium comes with his own laptop and is ready to program.

Please set up following software in advance if you can:

  • Java 6+
  • Java IDE (Intellij IDEA, Eclipse, …)
  • GIT

Later, Priit Tamboom from GitLab will cover a testing stack: rspec, fabricator, capybara with guard and spork. Priit is going to use real production code behind rubykino.com. Additionally he will cover why cucumber is not of his taste and why newbies should not bother with /spec directory too early.” Priit is looking forward to hear a new testing tips from the audience – we have to be ready to pair(mash)-up with him to write the code.

This DevClub event promising to be one of the most practical we ever had.
