Coderetreat and TDD in Donosti

On Saturday I was in the # coderetreat Donosti. We present Enrique Comba, made master of ceremonies, raising the issue and giving us the steps to practice in each iteration.

I encourage you here to organiceis this event where you can, in fact no need to bring any stars, just be willing to learn one day and have fun.

has been a very interesting day, practicing a bit of programming, TDD. I realized, first, that was very rusty, and second, that I have much to play to fully understand the implications of TDD. Why doing good means scheduling TDD well, each time wondering why you put the code you're writing, and understanding the reasons of design.

What

we did this day was to try to solve the game Conway. It is a simple problem to understand, but with enough complexity so you can get a nice object-oriented design, deserves more than a working discussion on design from TDD.

itearaciones

The first two, they were free, without "putadillas" suggested by Henry, creoq ue almost all begin to design or a board, a universe, a few cells, etc ... there was a god who designed considering the game:)

principial

My discovery is that we began to do TDD from a point of issue in which to begin the tests had taken modeling design decisions the problem. Yes, even before the tests.

This already made me nervous and the second iteration, with @ sharpbites proposed to start with what would be the beginning, a game interface, which resolved the issue. An acceptance test, now, more in line (I think) of a BDD approach. And we get stuck, go if we get stuck. Why? That attempted to reach the solution we had in mind. In general, we all found it easier to worsen from lower levels of the solution, with a bottom-up approach.

Enrique proposed a solution that convinced me, but I'll to put into practice a few times. This is from the test of acceptance, problem definition (top-bottom), and make rapid development that leads to a first solution, even rude. Then do the bottom-up and go missing completing developments to make sure you have enough test cases and created a good design.

What we get is to have soon a first version, and then strengthen the design and development in detail.

definitely was a very used, for sharing experiences with other people, and to learn something from each one of them. We will have to do more of these by the North:), do not lose them, keep informed Agile-Spain.

Thanks to all attendees, and Gailen for sponsoring the event, we could eat hat! ;)

Good people

people back in these parts.
Unbelievable but true, as always.
You must know:)

What Do You Think About This Guy?

Claudia

I was a pretty normal, I understand. With my routines and my small vices daily. Nothing important, of course, any cigarettes heat of the forbidden, in the bathroom, and photos. What to photograph things with numbers, I say. You know, doors of houses, hospital facilities, prices in shop windows, any reality in figures. I tell you, is great fun, everyone is entertained as it seems.

I went with my camera and my pack of Camels in his pocket, as usual, but I could hardly walk, because then I met Claudia. The number is viewed from afar: a ten outstanding. Photograph, you see, became inevitable. I went over and click, click, click ... seemed that the trigger was pressed alone, it was so easy. And yet well, first I was not able to get the number. It cost me a lot, not created, women elusive as fish, and Claudia, her skin of ripe fruit with their teeth about to throw a morsel of anything, was one of them.
What the skin and the teeth did not know then, of course. And imagine you did not know his name. I learned that later, at home, because when I photographed the first times we did not know yet. And he was right, I should have made before releasing him in the face flashazo, sometimes I rush, I'm an impatient man, you know? I think that scared her a bit first. Then I told him about my hobby for photography, but even then agreed to come to my studio. It took me quite get you there, it's so rough and so stubborn.

Well, yes, I admit it was hard, even frustrating, because she never agreed to accompany me. I think it was three or four months from the first day. And I was waiting all the time, he sought, the picture again. The begged to come up. Because there was no way to catch the damn number. And she, slippery, yes, elusive, always escaped. I finally had to raise the air. Was light, well, it's weird, because it is quite high, do not you think? But the fact is it weighed little. Although it moved and twisted hard, flapping like a fish out of water. Have you told him the fish, truth, women who are drained? Yes, yes, I said, excuse me, I will not repeat it, but so was she.

stop moving No, really gave me work to get the happy picture of his ten, of its outstanding high note, and yet seemed happy, no one who understands women. Anyway, I took the picture and I have not seen her, now I'm looking for other numbers, what I expected, this works well, never repeat my shots, I would be useless.

And, says she came here, to the police station to get a complaint? I do not know, hopefully I can clarify the reasons I do not understand. Perhaps it is you want your photo ... Do not worry, tell him to calm down, give me your email, that tonight I will send you a copy.

Jesuits And Civil Society In Haiti

1992

In a corner of a room of EFE is hung a picture that nobody sees, but is alive. A woman who trains more than six hours a day flies, folds in on itself, is holding the feet with your hands and back, and his twenty fingers brush the sky faded. Her blue swimsuit and looks like a cloud over his muscles, protruding from the glass and frame, are the strong wind in the afternoon. Despite his prowess, this woman, this bird that in a few seconds will turn into a fish-not feel protagonist has fallen to the left of the image so that, even without a caption, anyone can know when jumped from an invisible trampoline. It was 1992. On the right, blurry and unfocused in the background, yet unmistakable, standing between the houses the Sagrada Familia with its eight towers.
