Hello, I am going to be teaching introductory Python programming in an adult education program this fall. (Finally! I wanted to do this in the spring but it didn't work out.) I want to introduce the students to unittest and test-first programming but I am not sure when and how to do this. - using unittest requires a bit of understanding of classes unless I want to wave my hands quite a bit - beginning programs may not have much to test, especially if they are heavily oriented toward console I/O I'm tempted to just wing it - wait for a student to bring a problem that lends itself to testing, then demonstrate unittest and TDD. But I am interested in other ideas :-) Thanks, Kent
