Does your software meet the objectives of your organization? When your software changes (and it will), does anything break?
Poorly tested software increases risk of damage to an organization. Test Driven Development (TDD) and Agile methodologies minimize that risk. It moves risk to the very beginning of the software writing process.
Jon & Dan will show us how to use TDD with Ruby on Rails to write software that works today, works tomorrow, & is easy for teams of developers to read & change.
