As you grow this may be further compound ed by the fact that no one seems to agree on (or even know) what unit te sting is. Like me\, you might read up on it\, but find it hard to apply the principles you learned in your favorite web framework\, which seems to have some ideas of its own. In this talk\, I'll compare some common p oints of view on what we might mean by unit and integration testing\, an d why we might want to embrace these differences to keep a flexible appr oach to what we're testing. \;\n \;\n \;\n###Lauren Voswinkel: Conway's Game of Life Code Retreat. \;\n"\;We'll take 30-45 minut es to work on Conway's Game of Life. Pair programming is *highly* encour aged\, but is not required. We'll take some time to talk about what we l earned during the exercise\, as well as what approaches worked and what didn't. The whole idea of this exercise is to have a space and time to a ctively practice coding."\; \;\n \;\n**Please Bring Your Lapto ps** \;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializing time . \;\n \;\n##**Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and bee r\, pizza &\; snacks this month!** \;\n \;\n \;\nARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby\, however\, and must use th e freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 5th floor\, enter the bui lding's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight unti l you almost run into the elevator lobby\, then go right again. On the b ack side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "\;freight elevator."\; You can get up by buzzing in wit h the intercom\, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 27th floor\, you'll easily find the bike parking. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: *The Portland Ruby Brigade\, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb \, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland\, Oregon area. T he group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its imp lementations\, tools\, libraries and frameworks\, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations\, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their k nowledge\, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed\, please post to the mailing list. Th e group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month\, "\;Ruby Tu esday"\; -- see you there!* \;\n\n\nTags: ruby\, pdx.rb\, meetup\ n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250471731 URL:http://pdxruby.org/ SUMMARY:Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting LOCATION:New Relic: 111 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 2700\, Portland Oregon 9720 4 United States SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
