In Testing journey , a course shouldnt be there

https://laracasts.com/skills/testing

The course named "Let's Build A Forum with Laravel and TDD" shouldn't be added in Testing path: it's not about testing and it's a 19 hours course: this is big :)

WDYT?

TDD is Test Driven Development and is the main focus of the course. Its not actually about how to build a forum but about how to approach a project from a test first approach. The fact it is 19 hours long is irrelevant

Therefore completely valid to appear under this category.

Why shouldn't be added? In every single lesson you can see tests

imho, having to master Laravel to learn about TDD is a little bit too much.

I know a lot of people here are Laravel developers but I'm not. Still, if I want to learn TDD, should I learn Laravel first to be able to do this course? DO I have 20h + (xx h to learn Laravel) in order to learn TDD? No (and you probably don't too).

You don't need to follow the TDD course for an introduction to Laravel. There's a seperate series that is currently 5 hours long

20 hours is nothing when trying learn, practice and implement anything.

If you expect to pick up laravel in hours you are in for a world of pain. I have been using laravel for years and took months if not years to really get up to speed.
