So many 'modern day' programmers do things completely backwards - they write the application code first and then, when things inevitably fail, they find themselves refactoring, rethinking, and just plain frustrated. Why, oh why, haven't more programmers learned the beauty of unit testing and test driven development (TDD)? If more programmers modernized their approaches to thinking about programming, they would find that they would save huge blocks of time and, in the process of saving time, write more efficient code.

Highlights from this video:
  • What is Test Driven Development (TDD)?
  • What are some of the core principles of TDD?
  • What are units? What are tests?
  • Why should I consider unit tests?
and much more

This video is part of the following video series: "An Introduction to Test Driven Development (TDD) and Unit Testing"
Many people today still learn how to program 'backwards' - they learn that you write the code first and then write the applications (which ultimately fail, often spectacularly) that use this code. What we all should be doing is to learn more modern approaches to programming such as agile and extreme programming techniques as well as test-driven development (TDD) techniques.

Do you want to 'modernize' your programming style? Update your logic? Then check out the videos in this series on Test Driven Development and how to use unit testing to save time, make yourself more efficient, and how to use NUnit as your testing framework.
