Request: Do a short course on basic PHP Unit Testing.

I really enjoyed the Git and Laravel courses, I'm wondering if you would consider do a PHP Unit Testing course. Something about the length of your Git course, maybe shorter?

They have done this now and hopefully you've watched it. I have been struggling with this for a couple years. I knew that TDD was the way to go and I just had difficulty fully grasping the best way to go about and it and the theory behind it. The course that they put together here on it "PHP Testing" is awesome! I got more out of that than all the other information I've gathered on php unit testing the past couple years.

My request is more courses on this now! One totally focused on legacy code. One focused totally on test doubles. I will be taking every course that is released on this subject and telling all my developer friends. So treehouse please more courses on PHP Testing and kudos on the one you guys already did!

I've been writing code in PHP since the late 90s and its been my experience that this is probably the biggest hole in the PHP community. Most PHP developers I know don't do unit testing and its probably for similar reasons as for me... simply not knowing how to go about it. So you guys aren't just doing a service to anyone wanting to learn but in my opinion this has the potential to greatly improve the quality of PHP development going on in general.
