18th June –NWRUG Code Surgery and an introduction to Zsh

This month is the second NWRUG Code Surgery. Submit some code (See
below) and we will have an evening of code reviews and our own little
version of The Rails Way, NWRUG style. Ashley Moran will also be
giving a short introduction to Zsh.

I am currently seeing if we can get sponsorship for this month, so
nothing is confirmed yet but I will update the site and mailing list
if this changes.

Schedule
• 6:00pm :: Welcome & Pre-session bar visit.
• 6:30pm :: Introduction to Zsh (http://www.zsh.org/) by Ashley Moran
• 7:00pm :: Code Surgery – see the mailing list for details on
submitting code.
• 8:30pm :: Drinks at the BBC bar afterwards, then somewhere else
nearby after that closes at about 21:00.

Sign Up
If you would like to attend this event please email me as the BBC need
a list of attendees before the event and I really need to know the
numbers so I can order the right amount of food and drink if we have
sponsorship. This month I shall be publicly coating people with
marmite who turn up without emailing me. You have been warned.

Location
This meeting is being held at one of our regular venues, the BBC
Manchester main building on Oxford Road in central Manchester (http://smallr.com/967
). If you get lost call Will on 07939 547 962

Submitting Code

Add your code to either http://gist.github.com/ or http://pastie.org/
including any comments about how you think you need help and send the
resulting URL as a reply to this email.

Hope to see you all there!

16th April, NWRUG - BDD, you know you should be doing it

So, you’re testing your code right? Of course you are! But are you
testing your code as well as it can be tested? This month Ashley
Moran, Testing Maven, will be giving a talk and practical session on
Behaviour Driven Development and how it should be done right.
We’re starting 30 minutes earlier this month due to the practical
nature of the session.

This month we have sponsorship from Engine Yard so there will be free
Pizza (and maybe Beer and soft drinks, depending on the numbers)
during the talks.

Schedule
• 6:00pm :: Welcome & Pre-session bar visit
• 6:30pm :: BDD, why you should be doing it and how. Pizzas provided
by Engine Yard will be served during the session
• 8:30pm :: Drinks at the BBC bar afterwards, then somewhere else
nearby after that closes at about 21:00.
