🚀 Course Title: Introduction to TDD in Node and TypeScript (and Jest)
👀 Headline: Dive into the World of Test-Driven Development using Node.js, TypeScript, and Jest!
Welcome to the journey of mastering Test-Driven Development (TDD)! This comprehensive course is designed for developers eager to learn and implement TDD principles in their Node.js and TypeScript projects using Jest as the testing framework. 🛠️🧩
Why TDD?
TDD is more than just writing tests; it's a mindset that emphasizes testability and design from the very beginning of your development process. By writing tests before the code, you ensure that your software is well-designed, maintainable, and meets user expectations.
Course Highlights:
- 🎬 Understanding TDD: Grasp the fundamentals of Test Driven Development and its benefits.
- ⚙️ Node.js & TypeScript: Learn how to leverage these powerful technologies in your projects.
- 🧪 Jest Mastery: Become proficient with Jest, a versatile testing library for JavaScript applications.
- 🛠️ Red-Green-Refactor Workflow: Master the TDD loop and apply it to improve your codebase systematically.
- 🔄 Iterative Learning: Engage in exercises that reinforce key concepts and skills through practice.
- 🤔 Critical Thinking: Challenge yourself with problems that require thoughtful solutions and design decisions.
What You'll Learn:
- The principles and practices of TDD.
- How to set up a Node.js and TypeScript project structure conducive to TDD.
- Writing effective, clean tests using Jest.
- Utilizing mocks and stubs to isolate and test specific parts of your code.
- Refactoring with confidence based on the tests you've written.
Course Structure:
- Introduction to TDD: Understanding the "why" behind TDD and its value proposition.
- Setting Up Your Development Environment: Getting started with Node.js, TypeScript, and Jest.
- Writing Your First Test: Crafting test cases that define your initial requirements.
