Test Fest - Saturday 9th May

[lornajane]

Just wanted to update everyone on the plans for Saturday. We are
running a Test Fest event at Salford University, this Saturday, from
12 - 4 pm. The idea is that we all get together, learn about about
testing PHP, and write some tests to be included in the PHP test
suite. Our mentor is Scott MacVicar, he'll be along to tell us all
about the extension we'll be testing, SPL, and also show us how to
test PHP itself. There will be food, thanks to our sponsors
Ibuildings, I'll be ordering pizza or something - so if you have any
dietary requirements then please let me know.

For the day you will need to bring a laptop, and ideally get it set up
in advance so we can get straight in with testing on the day. Slides
from last night are here: http://www.slideshare.net/lornajane/phpnw-test-fest-prepresentation
and there is a more detailed "how to test php" article on my personal
site http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2009/Testing-PHP.

Directions are all on the Upcoming Page - please RSVP *over there* so
I know how many people we need to feed! http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2299548/

Any questions or anything like that, just either reply to this, drop
in to the IRC channel #phpnw on freenode, or contact me directly.
See you Saturday :)

PS Forgot something important! We're also going for a drink at a
nearby pub after the event, so allow time for that as well :)

Hi Lorna,
I had hoped to attend the test fest as it does sound quite interesting, but unfortunately I have recently found out that I have an exam on next Monday, so will have to go to that instead.
Really sorry.
Cheers
John
