Mozilla has announced that they are retiring the Persona project, which I use in the book from chapter 15 onwards. This is sad news, because it was a great project, but also because it's going to break those chapters! So O'Reilly have suggested I write up a new edition of the book, and I'd like to get your suggestions and feedback.
It's not meant to be a wholesale rewrite, mainly just find a replacement for Persona, and then address a few improvements if I have time. So my questions to you are:
I've kicked off a discussion on the book's mailing list, and there's talk of JavaScript MVC frameworks, a REST API, docker, and much else.
The book is available both for free and for money. It's all about TDD and Web programming. Read it here!
"Hands down the best teaching book I've ever read" — "Even the first 4 chapters were worth the money" — "Oh my gosh! This book is outstanding" — "The testing goat is my new friend" — Read more...
A selection of links and videos about TDD, not necessarily all mine, eg this tutorial at PyCon 2013, how to motivate coworkers to write unit tests, thoughts on Django's test tools, London-style TDD and more.
This is my old TDD tutorial, which follows along with the official Django tutorial, but with full TDD. It badly needs updating. Read the book instead!
The campaign page, preserved for history, which led to the glorious presence of the Testing Goat on the front of the book.
