Someone asked me the other day what new tool or technique they should learn, and the first thing that came to my mind was test-driven development. Test driven development is a proven technique that will help you write well tested and well designed code by writing your tests before you write your implementation code.

The best way to learn TDD is to watch someone do it. So on Thursday, July 23 from 12:00-1:00, I’ll be doing a lunch & learn presentation on TDD at the Quick Solutions office at Polaris (440 Polaris Pkwy, Suite 500 (5th floor), Westerville).

Lunch is provided (awesome!), so if you’re coming, please email amorey at quicksolutions dot com and let us know that you’ll be there.

I’ll show you the tools and techniques that I use to do test driven development and we’ll walk through the TDD process for some simple features. We’ll cover such tools and topics as NUnit, Rhino Mocks, behavior driven development with NBehave, and dependency injection, and I’ll give you the base code that I use on all projects to help write unit tests so that you can hit the ground running.

Can’t make it? I can come out to your place of work if you’re in the Columbus area and give this presentation again. If you’re interested, send me an email and we’ll set something up.
