A Practical and Short Intro to TDD (Test Driven Development) Using Python

Step into Test Driven Development with Python in this concise introduction 💡

We'll walk you through the benefits of TDD, set up a simple example, and demonstrate how to iteratively build and refine a Car class with a property.

Whether you're new to TDD or just want a quick refresher, this video has you covered 😎 💪

I very much find your videos very intuitive and helpful. Thanks for doing them. As suggested I would be happy if you could do a similiar video which shows TDD in the scope of Django.
