The thing about TDD is that the **only** way I've found people to start “getting” it, is by actually **doing** it. “doing” is a strong word. “Experiencing the mind switch” is a better description of the process that takes place. There really is no other way to teach TDD except by a hands-on walk through with the instructor. **The main problem** with this is that none of the user group facilities that I've seen or know about (Microsoft's place or HP's building in Raanana) have a computer class with computers for the “students” as well, like in a real computer school(like Sivan or John Bryce). So here's the deal - if you are from **Israel** and know someone who would like to “donate” a class room off hours along with full computer instruction equipement for about 3-4 hours please contact me through my blog contact link or email me at [my contact form](https://osherove.com/contact) and we can work out the details. I'm also wondering - assuming we can actually get such a classroom - would you attend? I'd like to hear reasons if not. ## More in .Net Original [All posts in .Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original) - Apr 25, 2004 ### [1st prize just got a whole lot bigger](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/4/25/1st-prize-just-got-a-whole-lot-bigger.html) - Apr 25, 2004 ### [Test Driven Development Workshop is a go!](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/4/25/test-driven-development-workshop-is-a-go.html) - Apr 22, 2004 ### [VB.Net is diverging from C#.
