Level Up Your Testing Game with Hands-On TDD: A Practical Guide to Test-Driven Development

Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a software development approach that involves automated tests before writing the code.

This approach has gained popularity over the years because it has been shown to lead to higher-quality code that is easier to maintain and refactor. However, many developers struggle to adopt TDD because they find it difficult to get started or don't see the value in writing tests before writing the code.

This talk will explore how to overcome these challenges and level up your testing game with hands-on TDD.

From Legacy to Modern: A Step-by-Step Guide to JavaScript Migration

Migrating JavaScript code can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with a legacy codebase that has grown over time. However, keeping your code up-to-date with modern JavaScript practices and frameworks is essential for maintaining a healthy and scalable application. In this talk, we'll explore the process of migrating from legacy to modern JavaScript code in a step-by-step guide.

We'll start by identifying the key differences between legacy and modern JavaScript, and discuss the benefits of migrating your code. We'll then move on to discussing the different approaches to migration, such as a complete rewrite, a hybrid approach, or a gradual migration. We'll also discuss some common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Next, we'll delve into the technical aspects of migration, discussing tools and techniques for analyzing your codebase and identifying areas of improvement. We'll explore techniques for refactoring code to bring it up-to-date with modern practices, and cover strategies for testing and ensuring the quality of your migrated code.

Finally, we'll wrap up with some best practices for maintaining your modernized codebase, such as version control, continuous integration, and automated testing. By the end of this talk, you'll have a clear understanding of the migration process and be ready to start modernizing your own JavaScript codebase.

Audience: This talk is suitable for front-end developers who are interested in updating their JavaScript codebase to modern practices and frameworks. Prior experience with JavaScript is recommended, but no prior experience with migration is necessary.
