Agile meetup Latvia

On August 26, the first brick was laid in the construction of the Agile community in Latvia.

The methodology in Latvia is widely known and used by many companies, but for some reason this event was organized only now.

The event raised a lot of interesting questions and discussions. The topic is interesting, there are people to share with. It is also necessary to visit other countries for similar events, to learn from experience.

Unit Testing in practice - RUS - Denis Udod, CTCo

Intersects with the previous topic, but at a slightly different angle. I know this speaker very well, he was my coach at the time. If the previous presentation was from a person who only gets acquainted with the TDD, then the position of this speaker was very well supported by his experience in this field.
