TDD for web development, from scratch
The aim is to cover the basics of setting up a simple Django site, but using full, rigorous TDD at every step along the way.
The tutorial is based on the first few chapters of my book, which is available (for free!) online for you to follow up with after the session, so that you can embed what you’ve learned. www.obeythetestinggoat.com
We’ll learn:
- how to set up functional tests with Selenium
- how to set up Django
- how to run Django unit tests
- how TDD actually works in practice: the unit test / code cycle where we re-run the tests after each tiny, incremental change to the code
- all the basics of Django like views, models and templates.
We’ll talk about what to test, what not to test, what the point of all this testing is anyway, you’ll get a real hands-on feeling for how it works, and I promise to make it all at least moderately entertaining!
And it’s all in Python 3 :)
Please come prepared! you’ll need:
- Python 3.4
- Firefox
- Django 1.8
- Selenium
You’ll find full instructions here – do email me if you have any problems, I’m happy to help. obeythetestinggoat@gmail.com
I'm a newbie in Python and I wonder if this training requires any Python knowledge?
I have programming experience, and I've been going through some online tutorials regarding Python.
Do you believe that's enough to attend your training?

It's not accepted yet!
but if it does go through, you should be OK. If you have other programming experienced and have had time to do a couple of python tutorials, you won't be a *total* beginner. I would also recommend having a go at the official django tutorial, or the excellent djangogirls tutorial...
