TDD/Pairing Session


I was thinking, since you guys aren't totally up to speed on the ol' testing front we could do a pair (or tri) programming session on Saturday. I'll share my screen while I TDD the fuck out of the entity manager. The other person(s) watching can be backseat programmers (not nearly as annonying as it sounds - it's ace to have someone catching your stupid mistakes as you make them).

When I've got something in a check-inable state, we can check in the code and switch who's doing the coding.

It was a screencast of someone doing just this that made TDD finally click for me, so I think it could be pretty useful.
