Our flagship TDD training course returns in a series of 3 standalone Saturday workshops aimed at self-funding learners.

It's the exact same highly popular training we've delivered to more than 2,000 developers since 2009, with 100% hands-on learning reinforced by our jam-packed 200-page TDD course book.

What's in it?

Part I goes in-depth on "classic" TDD, the super-important refactoring discipline, and software design principles that you can apply to your code as it grows and evolves to keep it easy to change so you can maintain the pace of development.

• Why do TDD?

• An introduction to TDD

• Red, Green, Refactor

• The Golden Rule

• S.O.L.I.D.

Please be advised that group bookings are limited to a maximum of 4 people. If you would like TDD training for your team(s), please contact me at jason.gorman@codemanship.com to discuss on-site training.
