Test Driven Development Bowling Kata Workshop
Description: This workshop is about learning basics of Test Driven Development - its rules and Red-Green-Refactor loop. Workshop is interactive and can be performed in PHP, Java or JS (please contact the owner directly if you prefer different language). I have a placeholder for a workshop every week (rotating between timezones). Participants do not have to be from the same team or project, but understanding the same language is beneficial. In any case - language use here is pretty basic.

Duration: 2h

Owner: TBD

Max participants: 6

Prerequisites: Participants, after adding themselves, should send a trainer a selection of known languages and github handle (workshop is interactive and requires an read/write rights on workshop repo).

Refactoring Workshop
Description: This workshop will look at some patterns and tools we can use to refactor our code. It will be hands on, with live coding and discussion. Please have a look at the code (Java, PHP or Python) before the workshop and try to refactor it as best as you can. We will do the same exercise live, focusing on the process, not on the end result. Make sure you have the code checked out and loaded in your IDE before the start of the workshop.

Prerequisites: You should be familiar with how your IDE works.

Duration: 1h

Owner: Guillaume Lederrey
