Status Updates From Test-Driven JavaScript Deve...

A good insight into unit testing, I understand now that merely adding tests to your code isn't enough with TDD, and that the primary idea of TDD is to get you to think about the problem you're trying to solve before you write the code. Very enlightening.

Chapter seven has some really good content in which the author explains the pros and cons of the various ways of achieving inheritance in JavaScript. Crockford's module pattern/functional inheritance is given a better description here than in Crockford's own book!

Finished part I

Just read through the first 'example' chapter which walked through a real part of a project. Now about to code it following the example.

I just completed the chapter on unobtrusive JavaScript which had both a description of what that is, and a concrete example. Having coded for accessibility before, I greatly appreciated this chapter.

I just finished the section on prototypical inheritance and I learned a great deal. Now I need more practice.

I am well into the parts that are all about JavaScript and less about TDD. I like how the author uses tests as examples of the code he is teaching, because TDD can be explained in very little time, but requires a lot of practice to get good at. This may not be a book for people who already have a good grasp of JavaScript, but for Java developers like me, it is a great beginning.
