Extreme Programming Live + Test Clinic with Johannes Brodwall and Eivind Waaler

We will start out the evening with a fast-paced and interactive live pair programming session demonstrating Extreme Programming Practices.

After a break, we will show realistic examples of tests that don't work as well as they should and their improved versions.

You tests can be included in the discussion, please submit them in the comment section of the event or send them directly to Johannes.

Good programming is not something that can be explained, it has to be experienced. In this talk, you will see pair programming and test-driven development in action. The talk will involve the audience and draw on your insight to show how programming can be more fun! If you want to understand how serious test-driven development looks, this talk is for you.

This meetup, we are trying something different - the Oslo XP organizer Johannes will himself be demonstrating his preferred way of programming.

As a programmer with over a decade of experience in test-driven development and refactoring, Johannes Brodwall likes to pair program with others to exchange experience, tips and tricks. During this talk, he is joined by veteran developer Eivind Barstad Waaler for a fun and interactive pair programming session. We will then discuss with the audience the practices, tricks, design ideas and interaction that they showed, showing concrete ideas for how you can become a better developer.

At this talk, you will learn:

• How to gradually evolve the design of code through refactoring

• How to write tests that help you understand your problem

• How to curate the tests that will provide the long term safety of your code

• How to riff with another programmer while you develop
