The Walking TDD
Didn't you hear the news? TDD is dead. Yet many developers rely on it for quality code. Come join the zombie apocalypse and learn and understand TDD, what sets it apart from unit testing after the fact, what to do when you need to update code, effective mocking, automatically generating test data and lots of it, leaving code alone and respecting your work, and more
Making Java Bearable with Guava (2015 Edition)
This 2015 presentation covers the Guava library developed by Google. Guava provides collection extensions to the Java Collection API and, along with this, a cornucopia of time-saving utilities that bring Java as close as possible to some of the more functional
and/or dynamic language competitors like Scala, Ruby, and Clojure. Why a brand spanking new 2015 version of this presentation? Well, there more new stuff to learn and use!
What the hell are math nerds talking about? (1/2)
Functional Programming is now a dominating force and comes with a baggage of terms that sound more like diseases than software design. In this two part series we break down and learn enigmatic terms like higher order functions, type classes, ad-hoc polymorphism, types vs. kinds, functors, applicatives, monoids, and monads. The attempt for this presentation is to make huge mathematical topics understandable and to explain when and where such design structures can help you in your daily development.
