Screencast - Test Driving an Inventory Screen

A few weeks back Chad Myers and I recorded a screencast to demonstrate TDD in action.  We had some issues with the recording (again) but I was able to mix it all up and produce this stellar TDD screencast for all of you friends.

A couple things to note:

  • Chad and I are BDD enthusiasts, not experts... so you might see a bit of a quirky hybrid approach.  Don't TwitterFlame us please ;).  I am, however, finding that the more and more I use BDD style tests that I feel myself leaning towards that style, but it's a progression.
  • Chad and I apparently live in different time dimensions, as our audio streams were totally out of sync.  I tried to fix it, but I'm a coder, not a production contortionist.  It's definitely watchable, but the last 20 minutes or so is a bit off sync.
  • It's long...  I tried to bring it down a bit by cutting out silence, but then I just wanted to release it already :)

So without further ado, you can watch the screencast here:

Total Length: 94min

Please let us know what you think in the comments.   If you find this is useful then perhaps we will do more of these.

update:  a few of you have asked for the code.  I’ll be sure and make this available for future screencasts.  You can download the project here:
