Re: Searching for a book that helps introduce JavaScript or Java Programming?
Josue - thanks this a gem. Since Jeff is on this (I think) we can just ask him to update his book for my daughter. Jeff - Thanks in advance for updating your book for a 16yr :-)
Cheers

Re: Confirm your [email protected] email address
Personally, I tried very hard to work with TDD within the Actionscript
community, but I was never able to find a job where the team I joined
already did TDD.

Hi Dan! Good to see you here!
I would recommend connecting with Jon Reid if you haven't already, he is sharing a lot about TDD on iOS. Here are some links:

Hi Dan,
That's why I added the provision that it might be harder these days. Some
of us have been around a

Hi Dan,
None of us can tell you what you _should_ do, but we can tell you what has
worked for us. :-)
For me, I've been happiest doing work that I like, in the way that I like.

Re: Confirm your [email protected] email address
Hello!
I'm Dan Torres, an iOS developer very interested in TDD. I've used it for
the last 3 years and it has changed my life for the better.
One of my problems is that the iOS industry is not

Re: Classifying tests: problem? solution? something else?
Possibly that is why in XP we called them programmer tests and customer tests. :)

Re: Classifying tests: problem? solution? something else?
Rather than categorical classification, perhaps it is useful to think of
"axes" of test strategy (plural of "axis", not "axe"):

Re: Classifying tests: problem? solution? something else?
I see those as:
1) tests that ensure that the code does what the developers intend it to do, and
2) tests that ensure that the code does what the users expect it to do.

Re: Classifying tests: problem? solution? something else?
I'm a bear of little brain.
There are tests that are fast & good enough to support refactoring (only,
maybe): you can happily run them after renaming a variable.
There are tests that show that the

Re: TDD is Freedom
Freedom to focus on one thing at a time.

- what defines success--how will I know when the code works?
- how do I describe that? how will I interface with that?

Re: Classifying tests: problem? solution? something else?
I have similar ideas. Classifying tests in terms of where in the pipeline
they are most helpful in terms of ensuring quality makes most sense to me.
That classification would be something like

Totally worth you Maur¨ªcio there.

Re: Which comes first: design skill or TDD?
My feeling is that we over-promise a bit on the feedback loops.
Automated mistake detectors provide a pretty strong signal in the event of a "refactoring" that instead moves one or more measurements

Re: Which comes first: design skill or TDD?
Refactoring is an essential part of TDD, wouldn¡¯t you say? And how can you refactor if you cannot recognize code smells that indicate that the code is not clean?
