Coding Dojo: Basic TDD "Moves"

When learning the game of Chess, people usually start by learning the basic moves individual pieces can perform. Later, to master the game, one must develop the skill to combine those small, basic moves into larger strategies. If we think about Test Driven Development in similar terms, what would those “basic TDD moves” be?

This session will cover those essential building blocks of the TDD discipline. We’ll start with the fundamental “red/green/refactor” cycle and Uncle Bob’s “3 Laws”, and build up from there.

The session will be mostly interactive and hands-on, so please bring your laptops and expect to pair with other participants. We’ll be using the Cyber-Dojo online coding environment (http://cyber-dojo.org); no particular development environment will be required.

If you’re already an experienced TDD practitioner, we encourage you to come and help us mentor other TDD enthusiasts.
