About the instructor

I am a software developer and teacher in the Kansas City area. I received my associate's degree in computer science from MCCKC in 2006, and my bachelor's in computer science from UMKC in 2009. Since then, I have worked in the KC area as a web developer, software developer, and as an independent game developer. I currently work as an instructor at Johnson County Community College, and I'm building my startup, Moosader.

cuTEST unit test framework

This is my C++ testing framework that I use with C++ programming assignments to provide students with a way to validate their work as they go, rather than turning in something that they're not sure will actually work.
