Test Driven Development Articles and Tutorials

I expect that we could invest what is in effect a week of training in just teaching unit testing techniques and tools. At the end of the week some coverage of TDD, the benefits, approaches, and how the unit testing fits in could be delivered. I skimmed through a Unit Testing Patterns description that someone sent a link to recently. If their were 12 patterns, and an hour was spent discussing the unit testing pattern and another was spent performing a lab to apply the pattern then 24 out of the 40 hours would be consumed. Here is a list of the patterns described in that one article:
