Test-Driven Development tutorial (extra cost applies) Dave Astels: Adaption Software, Inc. Wednesday 2:00:00 pm to 5:30:00 pm
Abstract: This will be a very pragmatic tutorial, with a mix of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on exercises. Background, tools, and techniques of TDD would be covered, as well conceptual topics such as refactoring tests, building tests around fixtures, what makes for a good test, approaches to writing tests to maximize the benefit, etc. Hands-on means programming, so make sure to bring a laptop and be prepared to pair-up.
Bio: I've been programming is some fashion/capacity for over 20 years, over 12 of that using OO. I learned OO from Smalltalk and have at least 6 years of Smalltalk experience, in areas ranging from a mass-market, shrink-wrapped CDROM series of products to natural language processing and acquisition reasearch.
I am a founding partner of Adaption Software, based in Wolfville, Nova Scotia (home of Acadia University and Ivan Tomek). I have coauthored one book: "A Practical Guide to eXtreme Programming", and have just finished writing another: "Test-driven Development: A Practical Guide". Both titles are published by Prentice Hall.
I've recently taken over the Smalltalk port of Ward Cunningham's Fit framework (from Ward, John Brant and Don Roberts).
