Becoming a Jedi - Part 3 of N

My third episode of Becoming a Jedi is live. In this episode, I start looking at ReSharper's refactoring capabilities.

Episode Listing

Part 1 of N: Code Browsing streaming download
Part 2 of N: Code Cleanup streaming download
Part 3 of N: Refactoring I streaming download

Streaming requires Silverlight 1.0 or higher. Download is via Microsoft Skydrive.

After finishing the episode, I realized that I committed a huge refactoring faux pas. I neglected to run unit tests after each refactoring. I was feeling cocky and just doing simple refactorings such as renames and similar. When I tried to run the application later, it failed because it could no longer find PetShop.SqlServerDAL.Category, which had been renamed to PetShop.Repositories.CategorySqlRepository. So even on simple refactorings, you need the safety net of a good suite of unit tests. Lesson learnt.

Surely you could've come up with a better way to distribute these.

@SelfishGene - If you've got a suggestion, I'm all ears. My basic criteria were:

#1 - Ease of streaming/download.

#2 - No big bandwidth bill.

If there is something in particular causing you grief, let me know and I'll see if I can fix it. Thanks for watching.
