⚡️ Tech Skills That Matter: TDD and Pairing done right! ⚡️

Whether you're a tech lead, a developer or a technically minded tester, this workshop will help you elevate skills core to quality software development.

Join us for a “serious fun” one-day challenge based around a coding puzzle-of-the-day. Past "code katas" include: Game of Life, Mars Rover API, Scoring 10-pin bowling, text formatting, and more.

This workshop is for you if you want to:

experience true technical collaboration
work through technical collaboration issues in a fun, gamified format
deepen your understanding of Test-Driven Design/Development (TDD) and pairing through hands-on, iterative learning
rediscover the fun in software development and bring that spark into your professional work

This practical event that will help you build towards mastery in two key skill areas that are foundational to modern approaches like Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD):

Test-Driven Design / Development, and
Pair programming

They have their roots in the most technically rigorous Agile Software Development approach: eXtreme Programming (XP).
