Lately, I’m more and more involved in Milan XpUg meetings; last week I had the pleasure to attend my first Coding Dojo.
A Coding Dojo is a meeting where some people practice Tdd and try to learn new things, without schedule and deadline pressure.
As introduction I prepared a little presentation, mainly with the aim to clarify the “Ocp Way” to do katas, as conceived by Matteo Vaccari in his blog:
We had a lot of fun, and we are committed to arrange another Dojo, at the end of February.
If someone is interested to practice more, here you can find the text of the kata we practiced and here the code we produced.
Last evening, I gave a speech about Bdd, at the wonderful Milan XPUg.
The meeting has been very pleasant: I believe the members are among the most brilliant mind I know.
I could admit I didn’t know very well Bdd, but following the good old advice “teach to learn“, I got a triple win:
I taught something new to Xpug guys, I learned a lot of new things and I improved my presentation skill.
Moreover, after a couple of hours after I put online my slides, the Slideshare team promoted my presentation in home page as features presentation: what a great result for a weekend presentation hack!
