SUMMARY:PHP Sussex: What is TDD and why should I care? How to explain TDD t
 o a non-technical audience
DESCRIPTION:After a short break in August\, we're back in September with a 
 great talk by Naomi Gotts. Naomi is a Senior Software Engineer at Tillo
  and a regular speaker at conferences and local meetups (she gave a fanta
 stic opening keynote at PHP UK earlier this year).\nThis time around Nao
 mi will tell us about Test-Driven Development in a presentation that will 
 help you explain this practice to non-technical people (and maybe also con
 vince you to give it a go if you're still on the fence 😉) (more details
  on the talk further down).\nPlease note that we'll be trialling a new loc
 ation – we'll be headed to Runway East\, a new space that is a short w
 alk from Brighton Station and that we think may be a better home for PHP S
 ussex going forward.\nThis event will be hybrid\, meaning you can either j
 oin in person or online (please register for the meetup either way!):\nThe
  in-person event will take place at Runway East in Brighton from 6 pm. 
 There will be food and drinks and you're welcome to come have a chat befor
 e the talk starts (around 6:30 pm).\nOnline participants can join the li
 ve stream from 6:30 pm.\nThis is how Naomi introduces her talk:\n"To the 
 non-technical world\, TDD is just another acronym that developers drop int
 o conversations every now and then. For those of us on the technical side 
 of the fence\, we know that being able to work test-first is a skill. A sk
 ill that takes practice and perseverance to hone and reap the benefits fro
 m. But why should our business stakeholders care about helping and support
 ing us on our TDD journeys?\nAs developers we are often faced with the cha
 llenge of having to explain technical subjects to non-technical colleagues
 . This talk will delve into the business case for TDD\, explaining why it 
 is important and using an interactive example to demonstrate how it helps 
 improve development flow. It will leave attendees with a specific example 
 and a more generic overall approach to presenting technical topics to non-
 technical audiences."\nHope to see you there and then!\nAs always\, a big 
 thank you to Silicon Brighton for their support.
