We've begun using TDD Kata in our workplace to sharpen and hone our TDD minds. :)

It's a worthwhile exercise to do, to turn good practice into habit, so I'm posting Roy Osherove's example here to spread the word. :)

Note that it isn't a challenge to get as far into it as you can (or even finish it), it is a practice to employ the TDD mantra as a habit. :)
 
I used something similar to get used to the CodeRush short cuts.

Osherove's book is a definitely worth reading for unit test beginners. One bit of advice that really helped was, there is no such thing as a complex implementation just one that hasn't been decomposed enough :)
 
All tests passed, go me :o.

It's a pretty good hint that I should really write unit tests for my code in future. It's a million times easier than just testing a function locally once and expecting it to keep working forever, like I've been guilty of in the past :).
