At this month's Extreme Programming San Diego (XPSD) meeting, Phlip
Plumlee will teach us how to perform Test-Driven Development for Ajax
under Rails.

Phlip will give a tutorial on how to efficiently test Web pages, using
Ruby on Rails and assert_xpath, leading to tests on Ajax. assert_xpath
is a Rails plugin built around Rails assertions which Phlip has created
to enable testing of Ajax and Javascript. Those Rails developers among
you will gain a valuable addition to your testing toolset. Those of you
who are not using Rails should be.

Phlip applies his compulsion for art and logic to complex problems in
games, linguistics, bioinformatics, statistical process control,
e-commerce, and software visualization. Advocating Agile methodologies
increases the odds he can actually get to use them himself at work.

The meeting will be held at SAIC on Campus Point Dr. (
http://xpsd.org/SAICDirections ) from 6-7:30 PM on Thursday August 2nd.
Please RSVP to joonspoon@... so that we can have a badge ready
for you. If you are not a U.S. citizen, bring your passport with you to
the meeting.
