Testimonials

Participants' opinion

Very good, thanks to adjusting the difficulty level to the group, but at least a basic knowledge of Spring (or just Java) is rather necessary. Working with the repository is very helpful, as you can refer back to it after the training.
In the course, the biggest advantage for me was the openness to the needs and questions of the participants, and the smooth change in the way the training was conducted depending on what the participants wanted.
The greatest advantage of the course was the openness to the needs and questions of the participants, and the smooth adaptation of the training approach based on what the participants wanted.
A big advantage was the User-Centric Approach. Sometimes, when we were hesitant to admit that we didn't know something, the instructor could sense it.
The trainer was open to questions, had a very broad knowledge, and adjusted the content to the needs of the participants.
Very extensive knowledge in the training topic, but also in Java and software development in general. It is evident that they have a lot of experience in teaching others, as they anticipate uncertainties and provide plenty of examples to work on independently.

Pragmatic TDD

A pragmatic introduction to Test-driven development. During this workshop, we focus solely on the process of designing software guided by tests. We assume participants are already familiar with automated tests and the Java ecosystem. The workshop is dedicated to experienced Java developers, who want to learn how to apply TDD in a practical way to produce possibly the best software.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in Java development (or other OOP language), good understanding of OOP design

duration

2 days

Target group

Software engineers (2+ years)

OUTCOMES

TRAINING Program

1. Theoretical introduction to TDD
  • Three rules of TDD by Uncle Bob
  • Unit testing vs automated testing vs TDD – where are the differences?
  • When (not) to apply TDD
2. TDD katas
  • A practical introduction to TDD based on popular TDD kata
  • Pair programming exercises: the first programmer writes test specification, then the other one writes implementation to pass the specification, then switch the roles
3. Business case – a real-world application
    • Discuss popular business application to find essential requirements
    • Practice implementing core business features following a TDD approach
    • Show software design’s impact on its testability
    • TDD feedback loop – how to understand true business requirements through specification by example and red-green-refactor lifecycle

1. Limitations of TDD

  • Why following TDD for infrastructure code doesn’t work
  • Samples of untestable code
  • Improving testability through Hexagonal Architecture
  • Working with legacy systems

 

2. Complex exercises

  • Learning when to (not) follow TDD in a hard way – based on real-world examples
  • Refactoring code to achieve a better testability
  • Finding the right compromise between strict TDD and development costs
  • Adding new complex business features to the example application from day 1

Software Design Principles & Patterns

A hands-on workshop. During these two days, we are going to build a backend system in Java. We’ll start with the naive approach and will keep applying new design patterns and principles as needed.

Requirements

5+ years in software development

duration

2 days

Target group

mid & senior engineers, architects

FORMAT

Workshop

OUTCOMES

Agenda

1. We’ll start with an Introduction to the example application. We will start with a simplified version of the Big Picture Event Storming session to uncover the requirements.

2. Next, we will run Example Mapping to work on concrete examples. Then, we are going to translate these examples into tests. We’ll discuss two flavors of TDD: London School and Chicago School.

3. At the same time of writing tests, we’ll be also writing production code. We’ll start the naive way (without using any special design patterns).

4. During the refactor step we will address design issues of the naive implementation. That’s the moment when I’m going to introduce some theory behind design patterns. I’ll also present a selection of the most useful design patterns.

5. Next, I’ll present a detailed overview of best practices regarding using design patterns. I’ll try to give the best answer to the following questions:

    • When should we use design patterns?
    • How should we use design patterns?

6.Now I’ll show how to identify anti-patterns and isolate them from the rest of the system.

7. We’re going to see how we can use Ports and Adapters (AKA Hexagonal) architecture to build application and infrastructure layers around the core domain.

8. I’ll show some practices of integration testing.

9. After that, we’ll cover the basics of reactive systems. We’ll try to adapt our application to the reactive requirements.

10. We’ll continue with the development of the application.

Training

Modeling modern systems in the context of the Spring Framework

Take a step towards becoming a Technical Partner for Business and learn how to use the power of the most popular Java framework in the context of creating applications of the highest quality.

 

Workshop training during which you and your trainer will build a well-designed application using DDD, TDD and Clean Architecture practices. The heart of the application will be integrated with the Spring Framework only in the necessary places, thus maintaining the purity of the architecture and domain modules.

This training is not intended to cover all Spring Framework mechanisms and modules. Instead, you’ll get hands-on guidance and practice techniques to build top-notch, easy-to-modify apps. Note: Spring will only appear when we deem it necessary.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in Java development (or other OOP language), good understanding of OOP design

DDD for business

Maximizing the potential of your IT department and minimizing the gap between engineers and business can give you the critical edge over your competition. Thanks to the honed analytical skills and logical thinking, the IT people can help you not only to produce great code, but also to solve real business problems. As you will find out after this training, a software project consists of thousands of tiny puzzle pieces. A single, seemingly unimportant misunderstanding might have disastrous consequences. Let us show you how to see the bigger picture, make your engineers business partners who speak the same language as you and set up the right course to your success.

We offer you a three-day business-oriented workshop during which you will understand the strategic aspect of famous Domain-driven design. No coding involved, no modeling. Instead, we’ll equip you with the tools to distill the essence of your business. The training is divided into three sections:

  1. Minimizing the language gap by building and grooming the shared business language (aka Ubiquitous Language)
  2. How to distill the essence of your business and set up priorities
  3. Making it work: how to change the way we produce software
