Happy new year! It seems like good time for a Quality Coding retrospective. I also want to share some goals for 2018.
…Did someone say, “Are you writing a book?”
In 2017, Quality Coding crossed over 2,000 subscribers! (Are you one of them? All subscribers get my test-focused code snippets.)
…Crossing the 2,000 threshold also means I graduated out of MailChimp’s free program. This means I’m incurring regular costs to send out email updates. So, I’m looking for advertisers to help support this site. If you have something to advertise, I’m running a New Year’s sale: 40% off through February!
Learn More about AdvertisingI invested in various improvements for this site:
The site feels snappier to me. Does it feel faster to you? I’m continuing to experiment to see what investments make a difference.
Besides these speed improvements, I also invested in a new comment system. You can now up-vote comments! By default, up-voted comments will appear first. …So give a thumbs-up to the comments you find helpful.
2017 brought some new things to my TDD workshop:
I’m eager to bring this workshop to your iOS team. To that end, I’m running a New Year’s promotional sale here, too: 40% off bookings made through February! That is, you can schedule a workshop any time during 2018 …as long as we make the arrangements soon.
Learn More about WorkshopOver the years, folks have asked if I would write a book. In my 2017 Reader Survey, I learned that many of you were interested. …But what should it focus on?
That’s why I recently ran another survey to learn about your greatest pain points when it comes to iOS testing. Thank you to everyone who participated! I spent time during my Christmas break reading, analyzing, and categorizing your responses.
Because I want to make sure I write something that will help you in your testing struggles.
Writing a book is a daunting idea. But I want to give it a go. Here’s to 2018!
Programming was fun when I was a kid. But working in Silicon Valley, I saw poor code lead to fear, with real human costs. Looking for ways to make my life better, I learned about Design Patterns, Refactoring, and Test-Driven Development (TDD). Programming became fun again! I've now been doing TDD in Apple environments for 18 years. I'm committed to software crafting as a discipline, hoping we can all reach greater effectiveness and joy.
