Test-driven development (TDD) is a programming technique that reverses the usual sequence of coding and testing. By writing tests just in advance of the code needed to satisfy them, programmers: * Work with confidence * Work on a series of achievable steps instead of tackling a big problem all at once * Ensure that software design meets the need of the actual code * Leave behind a suite of tests to help preserve the integrity of the code

Git has significantly changed the way teams develop software. Its distributed nature and lightweight branching and merging have made it possible for developers to massage their code bases in ways they couldn't have imagined before. However, Git has a reputation for being hard to learn. And when folks transition to Git, they often settle for using a handful of commands and treat Git just like their other source control system. But because of its different approach to source control issues, many of the techniques and terminology we have learned in other source control systems do not translate cleanly when using Git. To begin to use Git effectively, you need to understand the underlying concepts. In this 49-minute screencast you'll learn Git in a different way: By not learning about Git itself. Instead, Jim Weirich takes you on a journey of how you might design and build a source control system from scratch. Along the way you'll gain a deeper understanding of the first principles behind Git so things begin to make more sense. This screencast is for people who haven't used Git yet and are thinking about it, and for people who have just started using Git, but are still in the "magic incantation" stage of learning. It's a great introduction to source control for your manager, too! No prior experience with Git or source control systems is required.

Objective-C is the programming language for writing native iPhone and Mac applications. It's also the language that Apple uses to build their own applications and frameworks. So, if you know Objective-C, you have a lot of power at your fingertips. But if you're new to C or object-oriented programming, then Objective-C can seem a little awkward at first. These screencasts by Bill Dudney, an experienced Objective-C programmer, will help you quickly get up to speed on Objective-C 2.0 basics.
