I’ve been listening to a podcast called Mob Mentality on Spotify. I just get the audio there but I think there’s a YouTube channel. I’m still interested in mob and pair programming, even though I petered out when trying to organize one. (Sorry Peter [petered out], but hey, my name’s Jon – associated with the crapper).
In addition to programming in groups, they discuss Extreme Programming practices including Test Driven Development. I feel like I’ve used the excuse of being too busy programming to continue to develop any TDD muscles of my own. I’d like to get back to trying it, but feel like I’m floundering when trying to do so.
I have asked Copilot about it and was able to find a few sites that have TDD exercises which would help me work on my TDD abilities. Here’s the three sites I’ll be checking out:
- 8th Light’s Practical Guide to TDD: Offers a realistic approach to starting TDD without rigid rules.
- Codurance’s TDD Guide: Includes exercises like the String Calculator Kata to practice the red-green-refactor cycle.
- TDD Manifesto: A collection of coding katas and exercises to build your TDD muscle.
So I hope to write more about TDD adventures in Access. It would probably help me to review my former TDD articles as well so I can get back up to speed. Well, until the next message, have a great weekend!
