Which book to get? posted by Andrew Grimm @ Sun, 24 Aug 2008 07:03:07 -0000

I’m a ruby developer (mainly off the rails, and I don’t develop GUIs), and I’m interested in getting a book about unit testing.

The two “pragmatic unit testing” books have pretty similar tables of contents (that’s DRY). Should I choose the C# one, as it is a second edition?

If you were to do a ruby-based book, would I have to pay full price for getting it if I’d already purchased a C#-based book?

Although the code is written in C#, the code itself is not so enormous and long.
The very book value is in its written part, available for every programmers.

Looking at the table of contents seems to answer your question:
1 Introduction 1
1.1 Coding with Confidence . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2
1.2 What Is Unit Testing? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3
1.3 Why Should We Bother with Unit Testing? . . . 4
1.4 What Do We Want to Accomplish? . . . . . . . . 5
1.5 How Do We Do Unit Testing? . . . . . . . . . . . 7
1.6 Excuses for Not Testing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9
1.7 Road Map . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14

If you’re looking for a general Unit Testing book without C# details, this might not be the best book for that.

Would this book help me with acquiring a general understanding of unit testing? I use Python, but want to learn “how/why” to write unit tests. I’m starting to do a little Ruby, and find it similiar to Python, so if there is a Ruby-specific book that teaches a lot about unit testing, that might be better suited.

Thanks,
Mike
