"Test-Driven Development changed the way I write code."

Have you been around Test-Driven Development (TDD) practitioners? So, you have heard this before.

They like to brag about TDD benefits such as:

• fewer bugs
• productivity gains
• code easier to maintain
• stress-free developer life
• abnormal level of confidence in code

I know it sounds too good to be true. But, few practices have the label "Transformational" used as often as TDD.

But let's talk about the question that's on your mind: If TDD is so good, why is it not widely adopted?

Although TDD is a simple concept, it is hard to master.

But don't worry about that. This Workshop will take you there.

At the end of this Workshop you will be able to:

• Understand the steps involved during a TDD session.
• Drive the development using automated tests.
• Test-drive code with External Dependencies.
• Use refactoring techniques to improve code safely.
• Write long-lasting tests resilient to changes.
• Be successful with TDD in the context of a Team.
• Confidently evolve and maintain legacy applications using TDD.

All using C# and your favourite tools.

I risk saying that at the end of this, you might become test-addicted.

Is this Workshop for you?

Do you want to improve your tests and code? If so, this Workshop is for you.

If you have built C# .NET applications and have written unit tests in the past, you know all that's needed.

I believe in learning through experience. So, you can expect two days of hands-on and collaboration moments. Warning: This is not a lecture-type workshop, so come ready to participate actively.

What will you need?

I'm a strong believer you should learn using your favourite day-to-day tools. So, in this Workshop, you only need:

• Your favourite IDE (Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider, VS Code)
• .NET 8
• Docker (no need for Kubernetes)
• Git
• GitHub.com Account
