I had the privilege of discussing Test-Driven Development with students yesterday at the MSDN Student Developers' Night and I had a blast! It was encouraging to see students interested in a topic that can be so boring.

As promised, I am attaching here my slides (in PPT format) and sample code. Those who were able to attend yesterday might notice that the code is slightly different from what was demoed...that's because we did the demo on the spot! Of course the spirit behind the code is very similar.

Some links:

• http://groups.yahoo.com/group/testdrivendevelopment/ -- this is a Yahoo! group for test-driven development.
• TDD-related articles at objectmentor.com -- lots of useful and eye-opening information here
• http://www.extremeprogramming.org/ -- overview of the agile methodology
• http://www.agilealliance.com/
• The Shade Tree Developer Blog -- insightful and sometimes entertaining tips on TDD with .NET

TDD tools I use for .NET (there are more, actually, but here are the essential stuff):

• http://www.nunit.org/
• http://nmock.sourceforge.net/
• http://ncover.sourceforge.net/

Hopefully more .NET developers get test-infected!
