Women Techmakers Berlin and Women Who Go Berlin are joining forces to bring you this great workshop:

Most Go tutorials and introductory texts leave testing to the end; many just skip the topic. However, knowing how to test Go code is a key job requirement. It can also help you master Go faster by letting you easily test your hypotheses as you practice the language.

This workshop introduces Go and Test-Driven Design (TDD) together. The first code example is a test, the second is a function that makes the test pass.

No prior knowledge of Go is required, but participants are expected to
know how to program in a high-level programming language.

This workshop will use materials from two previous tutorials, remixed
and updated:

- A Gentle Introduction of TDD in Go, presented at OSCON 2018:
https://github.com/standupdev/gentle-tdd-in-go
- Runes: baby steps with TDD in Go presented at ThoughtWorks events since 2017
https://github.com/thoughtworks/runes

Come with your laptops + cables.

Note: lunch will not be served at this event, you're welcome to either bring a meal with you or use the time to eat out.
