On that note, read jml's "How to feel better (or, some tips on refactoring)": http://code.mumak.net/2011/11/how-to-feel-better-or-some-tips-on.html which is not strictly about writing tests, but how to continuously improve your code so you can enjoy programming more :) -- Michael Nelson Canonical Ltd. +49 176 491 53481 (mob) [email protected] IRC nick: noodles (noodles775 on Freenode) Ubuntu - Linux for human beings | www.ubuntu.com | www.canonical.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~software-store-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~software-store-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
