Rarely have I met trainers who are truly hands-on. The depth of knowledge and on field experience of Industrial Logic's instructors is truly inspiring. Their proficiency in agile techniques and TDD is bleeding edge. We have benefited immensely in barely three days of TDD training with them. We wish they were on our team here in EMC2

IL has been invaluable. Real-world examples with multimedia and a very knowledgeable trainer gave us confidence to completely shift our paradigm. We adopted most of the principles and have seen enormous benefit.

This workshop was an excellent distillation of processes and methodologies. It provided a great starting point for integrating test-driven development and refactoring into our environment.

It was amazing. I touched on TDD on YouTube and Medium before but this workshop goes on a deep dive.

This is probably the best technical workshop I've ever attended. It was clear and concise, highly relevant and highly interactive. I really enjoyed it.
