I really want to introduce beginners to (and learn myself) how
to write good unit tests, then develop a class that conforms to
those unit tests inside the debugger. I have heard that that
capability is one of the best things about Smalltalk, and I know
that unit tests are a *very* good thing to use.
Should I expose a Squeak beginner to this topic early on?
or should that be the topic of a separate tutorial?
I do not know if my tutorial will target novice programmers or
not.
