My officemate and I learned it from http://c2.com in 1999 (before books)
and about the design of the unit testing frameworks that enable test-
first programming from Kent Beck's SmallTalk Paper, which can be found
on http://www.xprogramming.com/software.htm (along with all the unit
testing frameworks know to mankind - except FUN3D's Fortran 95 one).

Oh, and http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/cookstour/cookstour.htm

Books:

   _Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change_ 2nd edition by Kent Beck and Cynthia Andres
   _Test Driven Development: By Example_ by Kent Beck
   _Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide_ by Dave Astels
