Christchurch Laravel Meetup – How to be a test driven developer

This month’s talk will be by Tom Headifen, senior developer with Devart here in Christchurch. Come and join us for a chat, some beersies and pizza from 5.30pm with the presso kicking off at 6pm.

We’ll be discussing a topic many developers avoid or even deem unnecessary in development. And if you’re one of those developers hopefully by the end your mind will be changed!

“Learn what ‘writing your tests first’ actually means, what we should be testing and advanced techniques in Laravel not covered in the documentation.”

Tom has a wide variety of development experience working in a range of companies from small, medium and large. Tom mastered his development abilities living abroad as a team lead and senior developer in Toronto, one of the biggest tech cities in the world. Tom is now one of Devarts expert Laravel and javascript developers but he also has a range of other experiences from hosting workshops to also figuring out those tricky problems that come with working in large scale applications.

Outside of development Tom is an avid traveler, snowboarder, and rock climber.
