I’ve done a BBL version of my DDD introduction talk in Qualcomm Life Paris.
This one was very challenging because I had to compress a two hour talk in one hour.
I’m looking forward to present it again. The slides are here.
Next event, DDDEurope 2019 Amsterdam, as a visitor :).
Inheritance abuses bores me. I’m sorry to tell this, but IT teaching is often responsible.
The course usually say something like this:
When behaviour is used in several classes, then create a root class and put your code in there in a protected method. So all the children classes can reuse the behaviour.
So inheritance is solving the reusability problem.
I learnt to code this way, with a bunch of animals as examples.
I use tests frameworks all the time. Whether I do TDD or try a code sample. It’s the faster way isn’t it ?
I become a “green addict”. I feel unconfortable when I’m not seeing green dots on my test runner - or when I do not see red dots when I change code (which frightens me much more).
I was at the DDD Europe conference this year. I’m very interested in design oriented conference.
I have the feeling that the conference was not really about design, but about changing minds, point of view and improve ones understanding.
I found out this nice presentation in Arolla Mai 2016 press review:
To savour copiously !
Or why people are giving up on TDD by Uncle Bob Martin.
This post is great source of arguments to explain TDD to your team mate. Also it contains a lot of arguments to convince them to use TDD.
