I’m profound advocate for Test-Driven Development (TDD). I don’t regard myself as a TDD expert, but I’m getting more and more used to the TDD “lifecycle”: There are several advantages to adopting this approach and its beyond the scope of this blog post in particular, I will definitely write an entire blog post on TDD at
In a previous post I described the process and my considerations when buying a Kindle. In this post I’ll provide some you with some of my experiences with my Kindle.
