Computers are used occasionally throughout the course.
However, we only need (and want) 1 computer for each 2 students; e.g., if 16 students, then 8 computers. Often, it is possible for students to bring their own laptop.
Internet access and network access are required, since the students are working in teams of 4 or more, and doing continuous integration with a shared version control tool (e.g., subversion)
Power strips and extension cords are generally needed in order to supply power to the computers safely.
Software
If we are doing team-based development, then for the team-based continuous integration work during TDD, each team people need shared access to a version control tool and shared repository, such as Subversion. the team-based course version is most common for longer courses such as Agile Software Development, or for internal 1-company courses.
On the other hand, if only working in pairs (and not larger teams), then no version control tool or repository is needed. the non-team-based course version is most common for public courses with heterogeneous attendees.
For Acceptance TDD, an ATDD tool, such as
- Fitnesse at http://fitnesse.org/
- Robot Framework at http://robotframework.org/
If Java group:
- latest PUBLIC (not internal to your company) version of Java Runtime (JRE)
- latest PUBLIC (not internal to your company) version of Eclipse (most common choice) or NetBeans (less common choice)
If C++ group:
- normally, we do the exercises in Java anyway, to avoid burning hours on awkward/slow tool setup and use in C++); Java is similar to C++, and sufficient for the educational goals (of introducing the idea of TDD and refactoring). However, if the client is really keen on doing the exercises in C++, this is possible (the coach is skilled in C++). Action >> 1+ weeks before the course, please let the coach know if C++ is important.
If .NET group:
- Visual Studio in C#
If C group:
- usually, Eclipse with CDT and the GNU tool chain (or cygwin or MinGW variant) -- ask the coach
