We’ll be starting off with food and beverages at 6:45pm with presentations starting after 7:15pm.

Rob Park will be giving his talk, ‘Keep your Cukes Clean and Shiny’. In light of people talking more and more about larger Rails apps and needing “clean code”, SOLID, etc, Rob will throw out a reminder that your Cucumber code is real code too. He’ll talk about using a declarative style for your features as well as some bits about page encapsulation possibilities with the page-object gem.

Following that, Nick Howard will discuss last month’s RailsBridge Workshop, which was a big success. He’ll give an intro about building a more Ruby diverse community with events like RailsBridge Workshops. Then we’ll hear thoughts about the event from its organizers, TAs and participants.
