TDD is a great practice and I cant talk highly enough of it.

However, if I was in your position I would not worry so much about TDD for now and instead concentrate on having some good unit tests around your code.

You can always start using TDD a bit later on in your project, when the tricky business logic comes around.

I wouldn't want you to have a bad experience of TDD, which could happen if you are under delivery pressures and have no experience in using the practice.

It could be an idea to try out a few TDD Katas at home to become familiar with it, before using it at work.
