There is too much conflict of interest here. TDD is a software trainers' bread. It doesn't age and it is better to learn with someone experienced.

I would be more interested to hear what is his opinion about design-by-contract and strict functional languages such as Haskell and OCAML.

His constant reiteration that TDD is the only way is a bit tiring now.

You should listen to his Clojure talks. Apparently he's moved the bulk of his development to Clojure.

Clojure is dynamic. Dynamic typing generally requires even more unit testing. As far as I understand strict static languages such as Haskell can eliminate the need for certain classes of unit tests.
