Re^6: "Accessors break encapsulation"

in thread "Accessors break encapsulation"?

adrianh, have you found some good material on TDD in Perl? I'm finding TDD, so far, only slightly less painful than debugging :-) . (Though I just received Kent Beck's book today, so maybe I'll pick up some wisdom there.)

If you haven't already, check out the TDD section in theDamian's article on Perl Best Practices.	[reply]

adrianh, have you found some good material on TDD in Perl? I'm finding TDD, so far, only slightly less painful than debugging :-) . (Though I just received Kent Beck's book today, so maybe I'll pick up some wisdom there.) There's not a huge amount available specifically on developing perl in a TDD manner. There's Rob Nagler's Extreme Perl, Peter Scott talks about it a little in Perl Medic and I believe that there's a bit on TDD in TheDamian's new book. But really there is nothing language-specific about TDD so I'd recommend reading Kent's book and taking it from there.	[reply]

But developing in TDD is so slow. Even a "56k" modem would be much better. But I'm glad I can develop via DSL. - tye	[reply]

You surely will. It's an excellent book! IIRC, it's one of those books with an actually ejoyable foreword that leaves you eager to continue reading. That itself is rare. /J	[reply]
