In summary I am a Christian, husband, father of two adopted children (Guatemala and Korea), and a software developer immersed in Web technologies for almost 15 years. I have experience leading projects on various technology fronts, including Java, .NET (C#) and PHP, and I've used MySQL, SQL, PL/SQL and Oracle for relational database development. I'm currently immersed in Java EE and the Spring Framework, and I enjoy working most with the Java technology stack.

How do I find young developers to mentor? Thank you for that great feedback. As a point of reference, it doesn't necessarily need to be just a Web site, but that certainly could be the biggest part. |

What are the organizational benefits of TDD over functional development backed by unit tests? This is a good response, but I have to disagree, but only when it comes to TDD. For agile (Scrum) or OOP, where the affects can be felt by other developers, it is necessary to get on board. However, I honestly feel as if TDD is an area where testing/fail first is a "personal belief" in a programming practice and should not be enforced for the entire team. |

What are the organizational benefits of TDD over functional development backed by unit tests? @S.Lott: I think it comes down to how I would classify TDD over just writing unit tests. Even though a developer can certainly write a bad unit test, for the most part the practice helps support all developers (the organization). However, TDD involves a "fail first" paradigm shift in thinking and individual development coding practices. You're still writing unit tests (which benefits everyone), but now you have to do it the TDD way, which may not be as efficient for every individual. |

What are the organizational benefits of TDD over functional development backed by unit tests? Who is to say that every individual using TDD is going to do better? Isn't that a broad generalization about how programmer's work best? |

How might one teach OO without referencing physical real-world objects? @S.Lott: That is the essence of the question. How would it improve how we understand OO? It might, and it might not, but if there is another way then I'm interested in hearing about it. |
