• Improving application quality with testable code and unit tests
• Improving code predictability by handling the expected and unexpected

  Come and learn how to shore up your code's defenses to protect it from bugs, other developers and your future self.

  You will learn:

  • To improve code reliability and predictability through clean methods
  • The basics of Unit Testing in Visual Studio
