Comments on: learning TDD through test-first teaching http://www.ultrasaurus.com/sarahblog/2010/06/learning-tdd-through-test-first-teaching/ Sarah Allen's reflections on internet software and other topics Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:57:41 -0800 hourly 1 By: Brandon Carlson http://www.ultrasaurus.com/sarahblog/2010/06/learning-tdd-through-test-first-teaching/comment-page-1/#comment-1675 Brandon Carlson Tue, 03 Aug 2010 04:33:29 +0000 http://www.ultrasaurus.com/?p=2742#comment-1675 Good presentation. I really like your comments about how the tests really require students to read the error messages. Good stuff. When I teach TDD (to entry level Java students), I take a different approach as I found that even the tests themselves were too confusing for students when handed to them. I wrote about my methods and experiences here if you're interested. I'd love your feedback on it. http://tinyurl.com/ieeeteachingtdd (It's actually an IEEE publication) Keep up the good work!

It's a great utility -- you should pay for it! Actually, I’ve bought SizeUp, but it wasn’t at all obvious where to put the license key and I’m too lazy to read up on where to configure it.

Loved it! Nice to see that you're also too lazy (or whatever) to buy SizeUp. Me too :) Great presentation! Loved it!
