Testers can get involved and contribute to better quality and teamwork. Dive deep into the Samman method, what you could expect from technical coaching as a tester, and how to get involved. Emily Bache Video: youtu.be/C-W4DJIvMmk?si… Keynote Info: tinyurl.com/mveywnda

I started my YouTube channel a year ago! I took the opportunity to update one of my most important videos - where I explain how to use Guided Learning Hour materials to help your team improve your coding skills: youtube.com/watch?v=7dnKYg…

In less than two weeks (17th & 24th September) I will run a Learning Hours Masterclass course from the Samman society together with Emily Bache . If you have run a few learning hour sessions with your team and want to dive deeper, then this is for you. See sammancoaching.org/training/learn…

"Split Variable" is one of the refactorings explained in Martin Fowler's book and also the topic of my latest video. It's particularly useful when you need to split up a long method in some legacy code. youtube.com/watch?v=wPmJz2…

I've shown the IntelliJ IDEA, a JetBrains IDE refactoring features a bunch of times. In this video Emily Bache does a fantastic job of looking at the bigger picture: when, why and how to refactor. youtu.be/wPmJz2ynb3k

Hot off the press! My new video course has just been published by O'Reilly. The course includes a lot of demos of how to read code effectively and how to solve several of my most popular Refactoring Code katas in Java with IntelliJ. learning.oreilly.com/course/coding-…

A lot of training courses on Test-Driven Development aren’t very good. I recently learnt about a skill acquisition model from Marian Hartman, PhD | @marianhartman.bsky.social and I've just made a new video explaining it all using a Rubik's cube. youtu.be/Myj-N7qVBU4 #tdd #softwaredeveloper

YAGNI! Believe it or not, this is an essential design strategy in Test Driven Development. My latest video is a team learning session designed to help you to get your priorities right in software design. youtu.be/OrxqfrTPns0

Join Emily Bache’s new course on improving your code-learning skills in a practical way: jb.gg/bxkmd7. All attendees who don’t already have IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate will get a free six-month subscription to practice the skills they learn!

Sometimes a little refactoring goes a long way. In my latest video I've got a short demo of how much difference you can make when you know your refactoring tools and have a good idea of where you want to take the design. youtube.com/watch?v=lU8Wmo…

Are you confused about how best to use mock objects in your unit tests? I've just published a video with a worked example that you and your development team can use to learn more. Check it out: youtu.be/4bCuxMhtf_E

Finally a description of mocks that doesn't mischaracterize the technique 👍.

Have you ever been given Gilded Rose or another one of my refactoring katas as part of a job interview? My latest video has some advice: youtu.be/DbvxtRvCpCY

Much of the design work in TDD happens in the Refactoring step. Are you taking advantage of tools that make it faster and safer? My latest video shows a demo - youtu.be/kHwzVlXTOw8

Test Driven Development is basically using a divide and conquer strategy on a software design problem. Here's a demo of what this looks like in C#. I'm talking about various heuristics I use to make decisions about what to do next. youtu.be/gMEPjZ-aN98 #tdd

Happy New Year! I made a video about some of the free resources the Samman Society makes available for technical coaches: youtu.be/XZXCSC_2gSw

How will you know if technical coaching is working? In my latest video I talk about some metrics you can track that might impress your boss, and some they probably won't care about. youtu.be/t7lw7ItlquI

Technical coaching is a good way to help a team improve their coding practices. In my latest video I explain how to introduce the idea to developers and what to say to persuade them to give it a try: youtu.be/i1UuKq5wv4o
