DevSnack #9: XP, the birth of a gem, new feature in Swift 2.0 and a bit of Haskell. A medley of dev topics, languages and experiences for this week’s DevSnack.
#1 – Is TDD dead?
Last year, DHH (@dhh) made a controversial statement about TDD. It triggered many replies from Agile and XP advocates, one of them was this post from Uncle Bob (@unclebobmartin).
#2 – Pairing with junior developers
In this article Sarah Mei (@sarahmei) gives some tips on how to train junior developers using pair programming. It’s focused on junior devs, but the same tips can be useful for teaching anything using pair programming.
#3 – Pundit inception
Pundit is a simple gem for authorization and Jonas Nicklas (@jonicklas) describes how it works and why his team decided to build a gem from scratch.
#4 – Mixins and Traits in Swift 2.0
Sometimes inheritance and interfaces are not enough – Matthijs Hollemans (@mhollemans) gives some cool examples and introduces a new feature from Swift 2.o.
#5 – Haskell love
Do you want to have fun while learning a new programming language or even fall in love with it? Zuzana Dostalova (@Jocinka) describes how she sees Haskell from a rubist point of view and why she fell in love with it.
