This video is of Class 1 from Wolfram Arnold's stellar six-week class Efficient Rails Test-Driven Development, which he taught at BlazingCloud back in July 2010.

In this series, experienced Rails engineer and consultant, Wolfram Arnold applies a real-world perspective to teaching you effective patterns for TDD.

In this first of six classes, Wolf covers:
