This month we're going with a theme ... CUCUMBER! If you've been
interesting in learning about Cucumber or even have some Cucumber experience
under your belt, this month's CRB meeting is for you.
We've got Leon Gersing and Mike Doel giving both an introductory session and
an advanced session on Cumcumber. Here are some details on both of their
talks:
*Title:* *High Level Architecture of Cucumber*
*
Speaker:** Leon Gersing, EdgeCase*
*Description:* Cucumber is a tool designed to improve the dialog between
Business Analysts and Technical Staff. It leverages the flexibility of the
Ruby language to allow business and technical users to use a common lexicon
to describe business value with reduced ambiguity which can lead to less
confusion on both sides of the converstaion and stronger solutions with
fewer defects.
In this discussion we'll go over the high level architecture of cucumber,
what it is and how you may be able to utilize it in your development. We'll
also go over some tips and tricks to help you get started with this new
technology with the least amount of overhead and friction.*
Speaker Bio: *Leon Gersing has been bringing value to clients large and
small for over ten years, and has a passion for technology, art and
community. He has experience using technologies ranging from ASP.Net and
C++, to Objective-C, Ajax, Actionscript‚ Äì and, of course, Ruby and Rails.
Leon also has high hopes for IronRuby and the much needed efficiency and
agility that it has the potential to bring to the .Net world.
A believer in building strong communities, Leon spends time presenting on a
wide variety of development topics at events and user groups in the region.
He loves nothing more than to be around other developers, working together
to create something unique and fresh; something that has never been done
before. He believes there is no challenge that can't be overcome with
passion and creativity. He spends his spare time with his wife, two
beautiful girls, two sweet kitties, and his ukulele.
