My introduction to TDD is a little different from John's. I have been writing code since I was in middle school in the early 1990s. From then until 2010, I always struggled with writing applications that didn't require serious architectural changes when new requirements were introduced. In 2010, I finally got fed up with the constant rewrites and began researching tools and techniques to help me with my problem. I quickly found TekPub, an e-learning site that was, at the time, owned and operated by Rob Conery. Through TekPub I began learning the SOLID principles and TDD. After banging my head against the wall for close to six months, I started to grasp what TDD was and how I could use those principles. Coupled with the SOLID principles, TDD helped me to write easy to understand code that was flexible enough to stand up to any requirements the business could throw at me. I eventually ended up at the same company where John was employed and worked with him and, as he said, the rest is history.
