Thanks so much for these videos. I even saw a course on a premium (paid) online learning platform, and it's not a patch on this video series!

[@1936Dany]

Great stuff, thank you!

@21:38 why are you using vim?

[@brettcodes]

lol! Good point. At this time I don't think I knew how to quickly do this. I might be closer now, three years later, but I guess we'll have to see in a future screencast.

Your videos are very helpful to build initial confidence and know how with TDD, but i think mostly issue with people who hve nto worked in TDD and want to switch over to TDD is mostly in planning phase, like they have a requirement of a full feature, how do they go about doing TDD while what they are used to is to build a proof of concept logic first, than refactor it to the point it is production ready and than write tests, vs doing TDD in such scenario...

This is really helpful feedback, thank you. It seems like a video where I drive out a non-trivial feature for an app would be useful. I'll add that to the list of videos I'd like to make. A lot of what's in this series is pretty trivial and manufactured, so it'd be nice to have a more thorough example.

Awesome!

[@brettcodes]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Fine piece, but the continous keyboard clicking is catastrophic...

[@brettcodes]

I'll try to see if I can at least reduce the noise of it for future videos. I appreciate the feedback!

*seriously!! the lad spend hours recording and editing videos for free then you show up tell him how catastrophic the keyboard just what kind of human you are !!*

[@kleinesmaccify]

@@al-mokhtar_ so there are two catastrophic things: keyboard clicking and me :)
