This is my little corner of the internet. Hopefully, you can learn something around here (and teach me something too!).
Feedback from course participants
Very comprehensive introduction to RAG with OSS. Documentation/labs prepared on github were very good.
The instructor was brilliant and friendly, his approach to TDD felt more relevant to my day-to-day life than other explanations I'd seen before which I really appreciated. It's made TDD feel more practical and grounded for me. I appreciated that there was a range of activities including a chance to try things out myself. I also appreciated being put into small groups rather than pairs which made discussion easier. I also appreciate the further reading recommendations and lots of resources to refer back to. I appreciated that the session was engaging and interactive without it feeling forced, with regular breaks.
A great revelation in terms of what we can do with TDD now. We can begin with the approach straight away which I wasn't sure of. Was a really good session.
The whole course was very clear and went through at a great pace that seemed to keep everyone at the relevant pace for themselves, which is something I've found is rare in these courses, so very impressed!
Lots of examples, Kevin is enthusiastic about the subject, and was great at problem solving our issues! The delivery was great, the github repo was well organised, and Kevin provided loads of great links for tools and future learning
I appreciate how quickly Kevin was able to write solutions and explanations of things on the fly. The training was good and it already contained a lot of useful tricks to optimise loading react components. Lazy loading will be useful on our web apps.
Good mix of labs and demos.
Lots of topics covered with a good level of detail.
Good mix of interactivity but also not too forced. Also liked that there were lots of alternative language examples available for the excercises. Delivery was good. Really liked the use of miro to deliver notes and combine interactivity, certainly more engaging than flat powerpoint slides. The task with the breakout rooms worked well too I felt.
I try to blog regularly with a mix of tutorials, helpful articles and thoughts about tech and life. Here are my latest posts:

I spend most of my time teaching and coaching teams inside of medium to large organisations. I also run workshops and speak at conferences.
I use what I create and discover with live groups to build out pre-recorded courses.
I'm most active on Bluesky and less so on Mastodon . I also have a YouTube channel where I post videos tech tutorials. My Github profile is also here.
