"Who are you, Vlad?"
"Why should I listen to you?"
"What are you going to send me?"
Well, I’m glad you’re here because I’ll do a quick introduction of myself.
So let’s get into it.
Yesterday, you were browsing the internet and stumbled across my website. And you took action and grabbed my PDF report 5 Coding Techniques to Reduce the Number of Bugs by 90%.
For that reason, I assume you’re part of the software development community.
As for me, I’ve been professionally involved in software development for over 15 years.
I’ve written over 200 articles about Domain-Driven Design, functional programming, and enterprise software development patterns. And I’ve published 10 popular courses on Pluralsight with more than 2000 5-star reviews.
Here in my emails, I’m going to share valuable tips, strategies, lessons that I’ve learned in my 15+ years of career so that you can accelerate your growth as a developer and avoid the costly mistakes that I or others have made.
Now, before I end this email, I want to share something with you.
In recent years, I started to write extensively about unit testing to help developers like you.
There is so much misguided advice out there. Moreover, very few books go beyond the basics of unit testing.
After you master all those basics, you’re pretty much left to your own devices to figure out how to get to the next level, where you’re not just writing tests, but doing it in a way that gives you the best return on your efforts.
That’s why I collaborated with Manning Publications and created a book designed to be a complete guide to unit testing:
Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns
This book is a practical, start-to-finish blueprint for approaching the topic of unit testing.
It will help you understand unit testing on a much deeper level. You’ll learn the nuts and bolts of writing tests and understand how the overall design of your code impacts those unit tests.
It gives you a universal frame of reference, which will help you look at your tests in a new light and see which of those tests contribute to the project and which must be refactored or removed.
I’ll tell you more about this book and unit testing in the next few days.
For now, I want to share some feedback from the readers for this book.
After the publication, this book has become the highest-rated book among all books published by Manning.
I’ve received hundreds of positive reviews from developers, software project managers, and even professors from universities.
Just check out a few of them:
If you don’t have much experience with unit testing, you’ll learn a lot from this book.
And if you’re an experienced programmer, this book will help you articulate why the techniques and best practices you’ve been using all along are so helpful.
I talked to Manning and got a great discount that’s only for my subscribers.

Also, you can look up the book on Amazon to read through what others are saying about this book.
Take care,
Vlad
P.S. After you grab the book, I’ll give you another bonus.
It’s my course, 5 Non-Obvious Tips for Writing Better Unit Tests.
All you need to do is forward the book purchase receipt to my email book@enterprisecraftsmanship.com, and I’ll enroll you in the course as a bonus.
