Welcome to the inaugural post in this “30 Days of TDD” series. If you’ve never done Test Driven Development or aren’t even sure what this "crazy TDD stuff” is all about than this is the series for you.

Along the way I’ll be showing you how tools like JustCode and JustMock can help you in your practice of TDD.
