Hi folks, I am Yoan Thirion a Technical Agile coach.

I have designed software since more than 15 years now. My various experiences in fields like banking, insurance and industrial environments at Luxembourg helped me understood what were really fundamental to succeed in that area : agility and craft practices.

That's why since a few years I am focusing on helping teams deliver well crafted software by coaching them on the implementation of agile practices.

I coach teams get better at XP practices, Continuous Integration and Development, Domain Driven Design, Clean Code, BDD and many other technical practices (Mob programming, efficient code review, refactoring, functional programming ...).

Podcast Coacher pour faire progresser par Yann Courtel et Yoan Thirion

With @Tr00d, we are working on the creation of a code kata to demonstrate a lot of learnings we had during the past years and shorten the learning curve of developers.

We are really proud to have a full workshop including facilitation guide, step-by-step solution in C# and java, a knowledge base and an escape game that you can use as facilitator for the first iterations.

We had great feedback on it and chosen to publish all the content for free under M.I.T license, so you can find:

• The code kata including instructions and step-by-step solutions here
• Our Xtrem Knowledge Base
• Our escape game including cards and solution (based on cards)

During the code kata participants will learn and practice:

• Test-Driven Development
• Mob Programming
• Functional Programming
• Mutation Testing
• Property-Based Testing
• Test Data Builders
• Example Mapping
• Clean Architecture
• Fight Primitive Obsession
• Clean Code
• Parse don't validate
• S.O.L.I.D principles
• Functional Core / Imperative Shell
• Outside-in T.D.D
• Acceptance Testing / BDD

Do not hesitate to fork it, contribute, give feedback or anything else 😉
