Certifications Given

Laurent Bossavit certifies that Christophe Thibaut is, at a minimum, qualified to teach others the skill TDD, based on this evidence:

I attended the Coding Dojo in Paris for a couple years at the same time as Christophe and had ample opportunity to witness his sharp skill at crafting elegant code, often in languages he had recently picked up such as Haskell, then demonstrating to others how they themselves could have arrived at the same results in a few clear and simple steps; Christophe's recreation of Monads stands out as a neat example.

Laurent Bossavit certifies that Franck Chopin is, at a minimum, qualified to use the skill TDD, based on this evidence:

I led a team of Extreme Programmers in 2006, which included Franck for about two months; I was able to appreciate how Franck's native capabilities in the development of clean, working PHP code blossomed with the addition of TDD.
