Sorry for the late reply but I didn't have the time to read this article 
before today.

First, I'd like to say that I found this article very interesting and 
well written (easily understable by a newbie I think).

But I have a question. The article is entitled 'Test-first programming 
with Ruby' but when talking about ZenTest you tell that it "can also 
work in reverse, loading a test suite and writing code stubs for every 
test" which corresponds to what this is all about. However the examples 
you are showing after that are examples to go from code to tests. Why 
didn't you show how to go from tests to code using ZenTest?
