TDD Workshops
Test-Driven Development (TDD) workshops are vital training sessions in the software development world. TDD is a methodology where tests are created before writing the actual code, ensuring that the code meets the desired functionality.
Weekly TDD workshops reinforce the importance of test-driven development. Apply TDD to commonly used utilities and even open-source libraries like React and RxJs. What better way to understand a library than to rebuild it under test?
