@jdn:

Yeah, the middle labs are awkward. We tried as hard as we could to push off the whole discussion about mocks and such until the very end to avoid confusion.

I think it worked since many people were even having problems with the concept of dependency management. We have a lot of work to do, for sure. A lot of guidance is necessary.

We’re talking about what’s next and how do we follow up with everyone and keep reinforcing the things everyone learned. If you (or anyone, for that matter) have any ideas, we’d love to hear ‘em!

I just read through all the lab docs, and think this is really impressive (though there is a part of me that wishes you skipped straight from Lab 3 to Lab 5 because fakes that uses booleans to test interactions give me the willies, but that’s nitpicky).

Great work, wish I had been able to read these 2 years ago.

I just demo’ed the labs to the team and showed off the workbook; I think the fantastic effort you all put into PDoTDD will have positive effect in the Austin dev community well beyond the weekend’s participants. THANK YOU!

When I first saw this in my feed reader I read “PDoTDD: It’s a Trap!”. Perhaps I’m a little too jaded? :)

I totally dug PDoTDD!! I was there basically to steal materials so that I can do some training at my office. This stuff is gonna make me look brilliant! And that’s no easy task. Thanks for all hard work getting this organized. Great job!!
