NEW COUPON CODE EXCLUSIVELY FOR HANSELMINUTES LISTENERS: The folks at XCeed are giving Hanselminutes listeners that is Coupon Code "hm-20-20." It'll work on their online shop or over the phone. This is an amazing deal, and I encourage you to check our their stuff. The coupon is good for 20% off any component or suite, with or without subscription, for 1 developer all the way up to a site license.
Our sponsors are XCeed, CodeSmith Tools, PeterBlum and the .NET Dev Journal. There's a $100 off CodeSmith coupon for Hanselminutes listeners - it's coupon code HM100. Spread the word, now's the time to buy.
As I've said before this show comes to you with the audio expertise and stewardship of Carl Franklin. The name comes from Travis Illig, but the goal of the show is simple. Avoid wasting the listener's time. (and make the commute less boring)
- The basic MP3 feed is here, and the iPod friendly one is here. There's a number of other ways you can get it (streaming, straight download, etc) that are all up on the site just below the fold. I use iTunes, myself, to listen to most podcasts, but I also use FeedDemon and it's built in support.
- Some other clients are Doppler (also suppose Windows CE), FireAnt, Nimiq, and PrimeTime Podcast.
- Note that for now, because of bandwidth constraints, the feeds always have just the current show. If you want to get an old show (and because many Podcasting Clients aren't smart enough to not download the file more than once) you can always find them at http://www.hanselminutes.com.
- I have, and will, also include the enclosures to this feed you're reading, so if you're already subscribed to ComputerZen and you're not interested in cluttering your life with another feed, you have the choice to get the 'cast as well.
- If there's a topic you'd like to hear, perhaps one that is better spoken than presented on a blog, or a great tool you can't live without, contact me and I'll get it in the queue!
Enjoy. Who knows what'll happen in the next show?

It's an open source behavior/spec-driven development library I created.
Basically, it is a set of Boo syntactic macros to create specs that actually run under NUnit.
For example:
[Test]
public void StackCountMustEqual42()
{
Assert.AreEqual(42, stack.Count)
}
Becomes simply:
specify stack.Count.Must == 42
Using Boo means you can write specs for any .NET assembly.
Anyone can download that chapter from the GotDotNet workspace for the book, http://www.gotdotnet.com/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=348dd896-50b5-42b8-8ff6-9621bd4feff9
You can check out the tool here:

(sad times, only supports SQL 2000 but I'm sure they're working on 2005)
And there's a great blog entry here by Dan Bunea on doing a sales report using TDD (which uses the tool).
