@SoCraTes UK CIC Training Day: We now have a full programme of content from eight amazing trainers! First up, @Jon Jagger with his session “TDD Game with Cyber-Dojo”.

You will be practicing test driven development away from the pressures of getting things done. You will be using the innovative, open source, browser based https://Cyber-dojo.org which provides a highly effective environment designed specifically for reflection and improvement. A hands-on intense but fun workshop with no slides.
