TDD like a Viking: Brewing Mead with JavaScript!

By Dave Aronson

Elevator Pitch

You’ve probably heard of TDD (Test Driven Development), but do you do it? Do you know how? This talk will explain TDD and show you how to do it in JavaScript, as I make some mead-brewing calculators. You will come away much better equipped to write high-quality JavaScript, and to brew your own mead!

Description

You’ve probably heard of TDD (Test Driven Development) by now, but do you do it? Do you know how? This talk will explain the benefits of TDD, and show you how simple it is to do TDD in JavaScript. (Plus, what mead is and how it’s made!)

Join me on the adventure of making some simple calculators, in JavaScript, to plan and blend batches of mead. You will come away much better equipped to write high-quality code, in JavaScript or any other language. (And to brew your own mead! Sorry, I’m not giving out samples.)

Notes

This won’t be live-coded, but I will show the progress at various stages, including the code, the tests, and the screens the JS works on.
