Other information I have mentioned in previous articles:

Resources I Used to Get Started
There are tons of articles and examples on TDD, Unit Testing, and NUnit on the Internet.  A lot of the content is redundant, but certainly there is something to be said about reading different styles of writing as a certain style make speak to you more than others.

I found the following resources very helpful:

1)
MSDN Architecture Webcast: patterns & practices Live: Test Driven Development - Level 200
Personally, I would start here as the content is very basic, yet interesting. Jim talks about TDD and walks you through the process of building NUnit tests from a TDD perspective.

2) Article -
Unit Testing in .NET by Justin Gehtland on TheServerSide.NET
A well-written article that talks about the philosophy as well as gives some good code examples.

3) Article -
Unit Testing and Test-First Development by Eric Gunnerson on MSDN
Again, a good balance between the philosophy and code examples, which is where i wanted to focus on Day 1.

4)
Getting Started Document as part of the NUnit Documentation
When you download NUnit, they have a Getting Started Word Document with a banking example. Pretty basic after you looked at the above, but I wouldn't feel complete if I didn't go through it :)

5)
Darrell Norton's blog post on .NET Test Driven Development
For a good list of articles, books, and software about TDD, you have to read Darrell's post and bookmark it.


Software
For a complete list, see Darrell's post above. I have no intention in the next 4 weeks to use anything but NUnit and perhaps a couple of addons. Darrell mentions a few commercial products that you may be interested in.

1)
NUnit - The software. It comes with a gui and console version.  I want to know both very well.

2)
NUnit Addin - Integrates NUnit into the Visual Studio Environment.

3)
VSNUnit - I believe this in an alternative to NUnit Addin for integrating into the Visual Studio Environment.

4)
NUnitASP - An extention to NUnit for automatically testing ASP.NET web pages.
