He began with full-stack web development before moving into iOS programming and, more recently, into mobile infrastructure engineering. Ruby on Rails introduced him to the TDD world, and he fell in love with the fast-paced feedback loop. Any big problem could be decomposed in smaller and smaller parts until it got to an achievable size. Due to the lack of tools he first encountered moving into the Apple ecosystem, Gio researched and experimented with testing strategies and tools document in an ongoing project that catalogued on his blog and in talks and workshops at various industry conferences. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47439055192285,"sku":"9781484270011","price":64.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/MEtaSnhtcDhkWDdzbDBPQVE4aitkQT09_baa1267d-b550-4cc0-9a12-c3597d26e9a2.webp?v=1771427913","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/test-driven-development-in-swift-compile-better-code-with-xctest-and-tdd-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
