Michael, I'm glad you enjoyed the articles. I found the book's discussion of the traditional MVC architecture and of the ways it can be modified to support unit testing to be one of the most enlightening things I've read about programming (and Java programming in particular) for a good long while.
I think it is awesome you bought the book. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am! It's funny how there is so much to learn about a single programming language, even after you've worked with it for years. (Of course, I have no formal programming education, so that may explain all the things I've needed to learn about Java to become reasonably useful.) I was a little skeptical about "test driven development", or development in which you write a failing test first, and then write the code that passes the test, but the books content on "acceptance testing" may be the thing that get's me to switch to this form of coding. I wasn't trying to be funnny with the blog post title. I guess it just turned out that way by accident.
