My school never offered any programming classes but I took all the computer classes I could. For the past year I have been teaching myself programming in hopes of getting good enough at it that I could get a job doing it some day. I started with C++ but then gravitated towards Java and that's what I've been mainly learning this past year. I have learned a bit about other languages like PHP, HTML, C#, XML, Javascript, and a few others. I don't really want to LEARN a new language though until I feel I'm comfortable with Java I can use it to do anything I want. If you have tips, suggestions, or useful information that could help me as a beginning programmer it would be awesome if you could send me it. ^_^

TDD: Am I doing it right? Thanks for the good links. I'm half way through reading "Clean Code" and have a few other books lined up to read like "Code Complete" so there is still a lot more I need to learn. I just figured I would see if I was thinking about all this in the right direction. |

TDD: Am I doing it right? That pretty much addresses what I was concerned about. I was feeling that I shouldn't be testing every method like I was, but wasn't sure. Looks like I may still need to read some more about TDD. |

TDD: Am I doing it right? Getter and setter tests don't take long, so I probably will continue to do them. However, I never copy and paste any of my code so I don't run into that issue. |

TDD: Am I doing it right? I was writing tests for getters and setters too so thanks for that tip. That'll save me some un-needed work. |

TDD: Am I doing it right? Ahh, okay. That's not what I'm doing. I just usually end up thinking of a different situation I could test my methods a ways down the line after I've already made their initial test. I was just making sure those 'extra' tests were worth making, or if it was over doing it. |
