Rails - Jan 2006 - [OT] TDD, Goats and Happiness (WAS: The Guilt List)

Wait, I thought happiness had something to do with goats and feeling
guilty about it.  I''m confused.  Again.

But I would second Dylan''s suggestion of seeing a video of TDD in
action
w/ RoR.  Having never tried this, it''s difficult to imagine how it
would
work in practice.  I''ll Google more about this later but if anyone has
any suggestions on where to start, I''d love to hear it.  Thanks!

I''ll third that (can you third something? I''m not up on my
parliamentary
procedure). I learned a lot by working through a tutorial a long time  
ago
that was basically a step-by-step account of someone writing a library
using TDD. It was fun, but I don''t think there was any bestiality. I  
think
it was in Java though, so I can go ahead and feel guilty about that :)
