This book, subtitled "Obey the Testing Goat: Using Django, Selenium, and JavaScript" is the second edition of a hands-on guide to the practical advantages of test-driven development (TDD) with Python. Author Harry Percival shows how to write and run tests before building each part of your app, and then develop the minimum amount of code required to pass those tests.
By working through the book, you’ll also learn the basics of Django, Selenium, Git, jQuery, and Mock, along with current web development techniques. The book has been updated for Python 3.6.
