158: TDD in Swift - Gio Lodi

Iterative processes that include writing test code and production code together, such as TDD, help make coding fun. 

All of us that care about developing quality code with the help of testing can learn from each other, regardless of programming language.

Today we step outside our normal Python comfort zone and talk with Gio about TDD in Swift.

Gio Lodi, author of TDD in Swift, joins the show to discuss Test Driven Development, software workflows, bottom up vs top down, rapid feedback, developer vs customer facing tests, and more.
