Learning TDD w/ Four Mentors | #106
Manage episode 284295053 series 2644918
Because microtest TDD is more a "way of geeking" than a technique or a received body of knowledge, building one's faculties is a long and sometimes perilous effort. Let's talk about learning. I want to approach the question(s) of learning TDD in some ways that are a little different from others I've seen. I've written two TDD curricula myself, and am involved currently in helping with two more. I see all of them, including the current ones, as "interesting failures". At first, learning/teaching TDD seems like a road, then over time it seems to become a tree, and ultimately it feels much more like a spreading activation network, including lots of external triggers, plateau periods, and transformative experiences.
(I'm open to the possibility that this is what *any* judgment-centric skill looks like, but for now I just want to talk about TDD.)
