The biggest accomplishment of this course is going over a large amount of material without making it ever seem hard or rushed. I had seen a good bit of this before, but a lot of it was still theoretical, and my testing has been spotty at best. This made me get in and write tests, and combined with my new guard/spork setup, testing is actually fun now. This means I'll do more of it. Thanks!
