#xpman 118 – Remote TDD Kata
We’ve never missed a month of XP Manchester and we don’t intend to let a little thing like a pandemic stop us now. We can work remotely, this means we can practise remotely as well.
This month we’ll be doing a TDD Kata and wanting to pair old hands with novices – so this session is suitable for all levels of experience.
We’ll be using Discord for voice communication and screen sharing, so please make sure you have downloaded the client ahead of time (the browser based version has some issues detecting microphones).
You can join our Discord server by using this invite link: https://discord.gg/9GGJCx2
Along with Discord, please have a development environment set up ready to go that you can run unit tests in.
We’ll be meeting at the usual time of 18:30 for a 19:00 start, on the 9th of April but virtually over discord.
Grab a free ticket so we have a rough idea of numbers attending
