Ladies Who Code LDN | June 2015
This month's meetup was on Test Driven Development for Javascript. Natalia introduced the concept of TDD and Nelson guided a mini workshop using QUnit and testing in the browser.
Although the meetup concentrated on full stack Javascript testing, the principles of TDD can be applied to any development environment.
Nelson Correia has been a full stack Javascript developer at many different companies, including Groupon, Thomas Cook and Pearson Publishing. He's now the lead mentor at Founders & Coders by day and prolific developer of open source projects and tutorials by night (and early morning).
Natalia Baltazar is a Founders & Coders alumni who has been a developer for 7 months now. She has already worked on projects for Camden Council and a freighting company and is a strong proponent of TDD.
