On the subject of learning a language via TDD: of related interest is that for many languages you can find "<Language name> Koans", where someone has already written a suite of failing unit tests of

Currently, I am learning Java 11 Mit freundlichen Grü?e / Kind regards Ahmet Murati Email/Skype: ahmet.murati@...; amurati E-Mail/Hangouts : ahmetmurati@... De-Email :

Thanks Matteo, It's still how I prefer to learn about a new language, or new language feature--each test is an exploration. As far as also using such "language characterization tests" to also explore

I feel I must again point out that "expresses intent" has too low a bar when judged by the author. Each additional set of eyes making that judgment improves that standard significantly. wrote:

please note that although Corey has written a nice little book about them, the four rules were originated by Kent Beck. r sent from iPad, probably via Mars. Errors, if any, are not

@Gregory Salvam, Since I read the "Agile Java" book by Jeff Langr, I thought that using TDD to learn a programming language was very useful and I used it both for myself and for teaching. However, I

First the 4 rules of simple design by Corey Haines: 1. Tests Pass 2. Expresses Intent 3. No Duplication (DRY) 4. Small I think it's a good starting point when you talk about design. Then to try to

Yes, good design is subjective and conditional. An analogy to a wise saying would be the observation that the enemy of good design is perfect design. It is very hard to question your own ideas. Pair

I find a common issue with learning TDD and design is that things which used to feel fast now feel much slower, especially as you confront your ignorance. When you are already trying to use a new

@Avi Kessner Interesting point I think,, what do you mean with you were learning language (I think you are referring to C#) and lower psychological barriers ?

Yes, the authors of those books we read didn't have those books. I started coding without email and the internet. I wasted a lot of time pursuing the objects model things misunderstanding after what

I have started coding back in September 1994, at that time we had no Internet connection in my home country so we could not download and install anything via internet as it is nowadays. So, I have

It's really going to depend on what ecosystem you are working in and what tools you'll have available. I worked for one year in C# on the windows phone. The only thing I was able to take from that

Can someone learn TDD and good design without on-hands expert guidance? Yes, that is the route I followed. I had been a programmer for 15 years before I became interested in TDD and good design. I

This week there have been two interesting TDD webinars about why after 20 years it doesn't dominate the software development scene. To tell the truth, in some situations, it is even an unknown

In his last meetup, Adam mentioned a lot of interest in his TDD comments and wondered if he should've chosen his words better.

miscommunications, misunderstandings or misconceptions about what users wanted and needed were in the development of formal systems like compilers. As someone who has built compilers and spent nearly

Hi J.B., I'm a fan of Event Modeling as a way of explaining and discussing a system with others (especially non-technical). I see a lot of value in that. I never found that I liked UML for discussing

Reading through the comments of the post I see the main issue here is a disconnect. A no true scottsman sort of deal. He says that "small design up front" is only a suggestion and never followed and
