Do you want to avoid spending hours or days hunting for your next bug? Would you rather have the computer flag bugs for you as soon as you enter them in your editor? That’s the goal of Test Driven Development (TDD), and there’s no reason that JavaScript developers should feel left out of the TDD party. This talk outlines the concepts of TDD, introduces JavaScript tools and frameworks that support it, and walks through the development of a sample application.
Basic familiarity with JavaScript MV* frameworks (Backbone, Angular, etc.) is helpful but not essential.
