If you’ve never been on a team that’s fully bought into Test Driven Development (TDD) and Pair Programming, then you’re missing out. These teams tend to learn much faster from each other, be more cohesive, write more modular software with fewer defects, refactor with confidence, and are generally more fun to be on.

Come experience what it’s like to work on a team that’s using XP dev practices!

You will need a laptop with wireless connectivity and a web-browser.
