Visiting Olin
Today, Josh Knowles, Grant Hutchins, and I visited Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, MA to talk to Prof. Mark L. Chang's amazing new dotcom course. We talked about agile development, and more specifically how Pivotal does agile and why. We went through an example of test-driven development for a simple Rails app, and had a miniature inception for a fictitious product.
Some students asked for some resources, particularly for documentation, so I put together a collection of resources for anyone looking to pick up agile, TDD and Ruby on Rails. This is intentionally not an exhaustive list. I wanted to include the bare minimum for getting started on each topic as a jumping off point and include further references at the end.
