Test First

I have been trying to develop using XP practices where you build a test that fails, then build code that makes it work. This is sooo different than the way I used to write code. It seems that XP takes MUCH longer to get something working. Maybe it is just the fact that I am trying to learn Hibernate as well.

I agree - I've had this same problem - mainly the fact that you have to overcome the learning curve of how to use all the testing frameworks and then you have to write the tests themselves. It definitely saves time in the long run, but can be frustrating.
