Well, that had to come! Of course testing is vital, but when learning the basics of programming it simply gets in the way. First be comfortable with the language and system, then add testing.
This obviously refers to the integrated testing as used in much Rails development, and for good reason. Constantly testing and checking your code is absolutely vital in all programming from the very start, relying on integrated testing (a programming effort in itself) is never going to replace that. Learn one first, then the other. -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne af Colin Law Sendt: 20. marts 2012 10:31 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: [Rails] Completely, absolutely and totally new...

Wrong, testing is a vital part of the process, do not skip it.
