Subject: Re: rspec/cucumber and testing -- advice please

Just ordered RSpec book. Thanks for the push.

I was at my local ruby user group and it was shown to me a bit from a

Kind of a storyboarded todo list script.

It's time for me to ramp up that learning curve =)

Thanks again for the replies.
