About the training

Software Craftsmanship is at the heart of this course. Throughout, you will learn about the Software Craftsmanship attitude to development and how to apply it to your workplace.

Writing Clean Code is difficult. Cleaning existing code, even more so. You should attend if you want to:

Write clean code that is easy to understand and maintain
Become more proficient in Test-Driven Development (TDD): using tests to design and build your code base
Focus your tests and production code according to business requirements using Outside-In TDD (a.k.a. the London School of TDD)

Clean code necessitates good design. In the process of driving your code through tests, you will learn how to:

Understand design principles that lead to clean code
Avoid over-engineering and large rewrites by incrementally evolving your design using tests

Once you have an understanding of the principles at work, we will apply them to Legacy Code to help you gain confidence in improving legacy projects through testing, refactoring and redesigning.

Content

TDD lifecycle and the Outside-In style of TDD
Writing unit tests that express intent, not implementation
Using unit tests as a tool to drive good design
Expressive code
Testing and refactoring Legacy Code
Introduction to SOLID Principles and Domain-Driven Design

The course is fully hands-on and developers will be writing a lot of code.

Are familiar with at least one Object-Oriented language
Are able to understand Java or C#

Have a basic understanding of mock objects

Prerequisites

Developers must:

Bring their own laptops
Have a development environment consisting of:
- Their favourite Object-Oriented language
- A unit test framework
