Nicely written.

To add to this I evangelize Test-driven development. Most people may initially refuse to follow it because its a completely different paradigm to write the test case first and then the implementation. But if TDD is followed in true sense (by doing iterative development) it makes you write modular, testable code.

Yeah, I would add TDD to the mix. Works especially well for APIs.
