Winter #GeekBeers in #Cambridge.

Come and have lunch and beers or coffee and chat to the guys who attended the BDD workshop in the morning and get the skinny, find out the verdicts from everyone, is TDD and using BDD faster or did it slow you down? ;-p

This should prove to be a lively and interesting debate and of course a great lunch.

Alternatively as I've mentioned before, feel free to chat about"tech/games/trash/sex/politics/anyLangaugeButJava/robots/QualityOfRestaurantServiceinUk" and and of course everyone else is welcome to join us.  

tenatively meeting at CB2, and will have to confirm we have a booking as soon as I have numbers for RSVP's.

If you have time, please try to read through this article * from Steven Sanderson's blog, where he looks at the costs and benefits of TDD, and at one place he explains that for certain types of code, unit tests can even make the code less refactorable? ;-p

* Quote from Steven Sanderson's blog -> "... I personally find I can deliver more business value per hour worked over the long term by using TDD only on the kinds of code for which it’s strong. This means nontrivial code with few dependencies (algorithms or self-contained business logic)."
