No Return Value Driven Development
45 Mins
Talk
Beginner
As a programmer, you most likely have written some functions which return a value, right? Do you know how to write code without any return value? Do you know what kind of design problem will come with the code which returns some value?
This topic will show you the value of no return value code via some real code sample. It will show you the benefit about such no return value design as well as something deep in the object oriented design.
If you're a programmer who wants to write better code, this is topic for you. Your development mindset might be stroke in this talk, please keep calm. :)
