Workshop: TDD your Javascript
tuesday 8.30 - 16.30
Room: Honey Badger
As the world moves to rich clients on the web, it is easy to treat javascript as "just a quick scripting language." But the language of the web deserves the same respect as any other application-development language. And this means that we should not just write tests, but should also harness the power of test-driven development.
In this full-day workshop, we will dive past a brief overview and look at the tools and techniques for letting our tests truly drive the design of our javascript-based applications. Join Justin Searls in building a real-world client-focused web application using tests to guide us in building maintainable and understandable code.
At the end of the day, you'll be ready to go back to your applications, set up the necessary tooling and start writing tests immediately.
