Recently I read Test-Driven Development in Microsoft .NET for work. This book, by James W. Newkirk and Alexei A. Vorontsov, turned out to be a nice introduction to the subject.

The bulk of the book consists of a practical example, that illustrates well how unit tests and customer tests drive the development and refactoring of code. The tools used are NUnit and FIT, both open source projects. Along the way, some basic refactoring techniques are mentioned.

It’s very easy reading, and provides nice insight into the subject, but it’s not packed with information like some of the classics in the genre. Overall a good ’starter’ book, but it seems to be a little bit pricey for what it is.
