Daniel Raniz Raneland will host a workshop on TDD! Time is tentative!

# Test Driven Development for Everyone

“There is never enough time to do it right, but there is always enough time to do it over.”

~John W. Bergman

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a powerful approach that yields better, less buggy code. So why isn't everyone doing it?

In this hands-on workshop, I'll explain what TDD is and why I think it's so good. We'll also try it out for ourselves, using real-life examples. You'll get to see how TDD makes writing great code simpler and gives you a safety net for when you have to make big changes to your code.

We'll explore how to plan tests, the role of refactoring in TDD, and the benefits of incremental software design. Working in pairs (or triplets) is actively encouraged. Grab your laptop, a language you're comfortable with, and let's go!

To conclude the community day, and to refresh ourselves (maybe) before the conference, we'll meet up and have beers/other drinks together! There will be no reservations made, so just show up if you feel like it!

We'll meet up at Jerntorgets Brygghus, and if that becomes too crowded, Andra Långgatan is full of pubs.

Apologies for the AI generated beer-picture, but at least it looks fun!

foss-north, the two day conference about everything FOSS in Gothenburg, will be held on April 27-28 at Chalmers Conference Centre.

NOTE: Signing up here will not work for the conf, this event is more about hype and community chatter about the conference.
