The Zend Developer Zone has another new tutorial from Padraic Brady talking about testing your applications (i.e. unit tests). In this new article, he expands on his previous one and dives a bit deeper into the behaviour-driven development process.   In this article, I introduce a TDD related practice called Behaviour-Driven Development which has been gathering attention for over a year and gaining converts (like me!).   He briefly covers what BDD is and how it can be used to solidify code against issues that might come up down the road (and how it compares to test-driven development). Some sample code/tests are included to give you a better idea of how it all fits together - a set of scenarios for any given "story". True to the title, Padraic writes his tests around the construction of a Klingon Bird of Prey ship.

I just started watching The Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel a few weeks ago, and I'm hooked. I really like the way the star, Cesar Millan, explains stuff. He shoots straight, with love. You can't be politically correct and get a dog to behave.  And he never misleads the owners, they have to change in order for the dog to change. Dogs are very simple, they can't just be your friend. The dog's world is hierarchic. Someone is the boss. If you're not the boss, he or she is. Every pack has a leader. Watching the show I wish I had a dog so I could try out his ideas. I also wish news shows were like this, get to the real story, find a solution to the problem.  Maybe he'll run for Governor of California. I'd vote for him.  Sue Polinsky loves the Dog Whisperer too.
