Facilitator: Martin Cronjé

Title: Essential test-driven development: Why TDD is not about testing

In doing work as a coach, Martin has noticed that developers struggle to adopt TDD and in some cases some are still wary of it.

This is mostly due to common misconceptions about the technique. This session will explore TDD, BDD and Automated Acceptance Tests and ask when do which, with what, how and why.

Facilitator: Marc Heiligers

Title: JavaScript Classes and Inheritance - PRO Edition

Marc Heiligers is the Chief of Technology at Mad Mimi and the organiser of Rubyfuza. Marc loves to mentor and facilitate learning, all the while learning new things himself. Sometimes he thinks he's got this newfangled inter web thing all figured out.

Marc's talk will cover Prototypal OOP, Closures, IFFE, and building/using classes and modules in JavaScript. He will touch on CoffeeScript, TypeScript, jQuery, Prototype.js, Functional Programming, Strict Mode, ES5, ES6 and Testing.
