Masterclass on TDD

UPDATE: Seems like the original text did not pass the unit test. Paragraph at the end added.

Roy Osherove is giving an hands-on TDD Masterclass in the UK, September 21-25. Roy is author of "The Art of Unit Testing" (http://www.artofunittesting.com/), a leading tdd & unit testing book; he maintains a blog at http://iserializable.com (which amoung other things has critiqued tests written by Microsoft for asp.net MVC - check out the testreviews category) and has recently been on the Scott Hanselman podcast (http://bit.ly/psgYO) where he educated Scott on best practices in Unit Testing techniques. For a further insight into Roy's style, be sure to also check out Roy's talk at the recent Norwegian Developer's Conference (http://bit.ly/NuJVa).

Mac is Back

I may not be Mr. Newman, but I have just re-entered the financial sector and man have I missed it. As I said in my farewell post, then this has never been a very active blog, but I hope this will change.
As always I plan on writing about the wonderful world of high-frequency trading, multi-threaded programming and what ever other subject that springs to mind.
Happy New Year to all.
