Start from here : BDD - Behavior Driven Development

If you are quiet new to BDD : Behavior Driven Development , start with this video by Matt Wynne. Shows you the following things quickly and visually.

    1. BDD Syntax (or  Keywords) like Given / When / And / Then / Scenario / Feature - These are also know as Gherkin language or Ubiquitous language 
    2. The Software tools that are used for BDD Cucumber and Capybara 
    3. And you see how a BDD Test flow: 
      1. Specification (Story) -> Steps -> Passing parameters to steps -> Running the test -> Execution: Watch the tool runs a Browser and populated the fields (Parameter) -> Final results.
    4. You get to know how effective it is to test a Web Application with BDD tools.
    5. And now you know what BDD is :
      1. Define a behavior as STORY that could be understood by all stack holders in the project.
      2. Define the Test with UBIQUITOUS LANGUAGE Syntax
      3. Easy to User Acceptance Team to communicate with Technology Team and other way around.

Though the tool Cucumber (http://cukes.info/) is written in Ruby and you will also have to use Ruby to write your BDD Steps and run, there is a .net version available by Specflow (http://www.specflow.org/specflownew/).
