TDD Lunch & Learn
This weekly livestream series, which ran from May to September 2020, uses test-driven development (TDD) to develop a microservice and accompanying command-line application from scratch. Each episode focuses on a new challenge.
The series emphasizes real-world TDD, with a strong focus on “hard” problems such as networking, logging, and testing without mocks. If you’ve learned the basics of TDD and want to see how it works in the real world, this series is the perfect next step.
