I’d like to draw your attention to three upcoming events.

Code Retreat in Toronto on August 8, 2009. Hone your craft in a pressure-free environment. Costs nothing but your time.

Your first steps in TDD in Chicago from August 31 to September 2, 2009. World-class training in TDD from a leading practitioner. USD 1500 per student with group discounts available.

Agile 2009 remains the premier conference in the world to learn about all things agile. Learn and practise with top practitioners across the spectrum of software and business roles.

Please join us!

This course runs well both as a public course and a private in-house training session.

Join J. B. Rainsberger and learn whether test-driven development will work for you. In this course, you will learn the secrets of modular design from one of test-driven development’s master practitioners. Bring your laptop and be prepared to change the way you write software.
