Hackfest around Testing

Posted by ryan, Thu Jan 21 09:42:00 UTC 2010

Most of the activity in the group happens on the mailing list. I’ve been lax in making sure the blog stays updated. Please join the list if you’re interested in keeping up.

On Monday, Jan 25, we will be having a evening meeting at Prism. Rather than doing a presentation, this will be more of a coding share/hackfest. Our focus will be on testing but any code discussions are welcome.

Check out the mailing list for more details.

May Meeting: CouchDB

Posted by ryan, Wed May 20 09:24:00 UTC 2009

“Imagine a world without SQL, a world where your database doesn’t even have a schema, a world where you don’t have to worry about shoehorning your objects into relational tables.” Well this is the world promised by CouchDB, the new document oriented database from the Apache Foundation. So come out and see if it lives up to all the hype!

Presenter: Colin Alstad, Prism Content Solutions

Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Doors are open at 11:45am so we can chat before the presentation begins at 12:00pm. If you’re pressed for time at lunch, feel free to come right at 12:00pm.

Next Meeting: March 25 @ 12pm

Posted by ryan, Tue Mar 18 09:23:00 UTC 2008

Topic: Introduction to RSpec

Ryan Wood will be presenting on RSpec, a Ruby DSL for BDD (enough TLAs?) . In other words, it’s that hot new testing framework that’s causing all the cool kids to drop Test::Unit like last year’s prom queen and swoon with blind adoration. Actually, it is pretty cool. If you haven’t heard of it, come and find out how you to can be one of the cool kids too!

Updated Directions to Today's Meeting

Posted by ryan, Tue Feb 26 11:10:00 UTC 2008

From Rick…

The second link is closer but their building is located at the end of the first large parking lot. So, if you are coming from 85 and you have turned off on to Laurens Road you will make a right turn at the first light past CarMax and follow that around past the traffic light and turn right at the next side street. There is a big sign saying something like Gold Park. Follow this side street around to the large parking lot. As you go around you will see a small temporary sign where you will turn into the parking lot closest to Immedion. If anyone has a problem finding Immedion give me a call at 313-8361 and I’ll try to guide you in.

Here’s “the second link” he’s referring to. See you at noon!

Meeting: February 26 @ 12pm

Posted by ryan, Wed Feb 13 19:47:00 UTC 2008

UPDATED DIRECTIONS

PLEASE NOTE: We are going to be meeting at a new location this month.

Presenter

Paul Angell, web developer at Infor and founder of checkpointzero.com, will be doing a demo of a social networking application that he has built for adventure racing. More details to follow…

Location

Immedion has graciously agreed to host us. It’s centrally located so everyone should have a pretty easy time getting there. We are going to have another lunch meeting as it seemed to be a better fit for people.

Lunch

We will be taking a headcount for those that want pizza and tea at the meeting (small fee to cover the cost). Just let us know on the mailing list if you are interested in participating. Otherwise, feel free to brown bag it.
