I have had the fortune of offering Agile Software Development course at various cities
recently.
After a two hour interactive session on unit testing, I ask the attendees to form
small teams
(typically 2 to 3 developers) and develop an application using test first development.
I generally go around answering questions during this session. A few minutes into
the lab hour
I've started hearing a short uproar.
In a recent course, I heard the excitement of a group of three and approached them
with inquisitive
eyes. The lady in the group said, "Oh, this is great. We?re having a green bar dance
here." Nothing
can please an instructor more than a team excited about what they?re learning. I am
thankful for
the opportunity to meet such excellent folks who?re interested in learning, and am
glad to be test
infecting these teams!
