Learning Testing in PHP, What order should I watch the testing vids in?

I'm coming from a Ruby on Rails backgraound, and I'm familiar with testing. Testing in PHP is new to me though.

I was looking at the "Testing, Testing, Testing" collection of videos. The first one in the list is "Code Katas in PHP". There is no explanation of how the test framework works there. It would seem like the logical place to start would be a video explain the testing frameworks, installation, and how they work. So I'm just wondering if the videos in this collection are in any particular order? It would be nice to know the best place to start and what step to take next.

Jeffrey created this list with an order in mind, the first video about the code katas give you an idea about unit testing at all, not Laravel related. If you continue watching all the other videos you will see that you get more into Laravel. So start at the top, it's all good resources ;)

Also, the first Kata video should explain the testing setup (IIRC).

Thanks guys. I'm in the testing jargon series. It's making a lot of sense now.
