Title: Test-Driven Development for Embedded C
You work in C or C++; you just finished a day of chasing bugs; you've
heard about Test-Driven Development; you are not sure it's for you.
You've done TDD; you just moved to (or back to) C and C++; you know you
need TDD; you want to see how it's done in your new environment. Come
to this meet up. I'll tell you about TDD and answer a few questions.
We can tailor the night to your interests (I could talk on the topic for
several days). If we have time, you can try some TDD. Bring a computer
that can compile with an up to date version of GCC, or Visual Studio, or
pair with someone else that attends. At least, I can send you home with
an exercise to do.
James will elaborate on his recent book

and on test-driven development strategy as presented here:

Don't worry if you are not doing embedded C. This talk is useful even if
you are not an embedded C developer.
