Listen Later

We cover the news then talk with German Velasco about his free book "Test-Driven Development with Phoenix". He shares his experiences of learning TDD at ThoughtBot, his writing process, tips and more. On TDD, we talk about the benefits we see, the process of "Red Green Refactor", tools and even when we don’t do it. Some great insights!
