    ADDcasts! Episode 11: Evan Light, TDD for requirements analysis, and lame jokes made marginally better

    Evan Light joins us in the 11th episode of ADDcasts. We kick off the show with a discussion about TDD, where Evan tells us that TDD is more than about testing, code quality, and design. He shares some tips on how to use TDD for requirements gathering and analysis. Then, Evan being the freelancing conversation magnet that he is, we turn to the question of how to make sure you get paid for the work that you do. Along the way, Dave rewrites Pat’s lame joke, Evan makes hilarious faces, and we peer into the minds of cats and dogs. Very Important Hyperlinks: * Coulda, Evan’s Given-When-Then extension to Test::Unit. For BDDers who think Ruby is just fine, thank you very much * Evan’s blog and twitter * Ruby DCamp – a FREE “hippy unconference” for hackers, held in the mountains of Virginia * Pat’s bit of code that generates an ActiveModel implementation from shoulda-style validations

    ADDcasts! Episode 12: Exceptional Ruby, Demeter, and Software Confessionals with Avdi Grimm

    It’s our dozenth ADDcast! Avdi Grimm dials in via the Windows virtual machine on his Linux box, making for a nifty stop motion animation effect. Avdi is a busy guy, juggling a consulting business, the conference circuit, and his recently released ebook entitled Exceptional Ruby. He shares his thoughts on how to be a good teammate and facilitator on a remote team, how he managed to write a book and still feed his four kids, and sets the record straight on the Law of Demeter. Dave uses code examples that might land him a coffee date with some FBI agents and demystifies chained enumerations. We also talk about when to refactor and how far to go, and wrap up with a quick discussion on becoming a better programmer (or anything, really) through experimentation and self-reflection.
