From: James Britt Date: 2008-02-19T12:45:48+09:00 Subject: [ANN] Upcoming Phoenix Ruby User Group Meetings Special note: James goofed at the last meeting and forgot to give out the PeepCode coupons. PLEASE don't let me forget this twice. Folks new to Ruby get first dibs. Double-dibs if you missed getting a coupon at the February meeting. Upcoming Phoenix Ruby User Group Meetings ----------------------------------------- Topic for March: Testing in Ruby Test::Unit, Flog, Rcov, RSpec, and friends. Testing is a big part of the Ruby culture. Let's dive in and see the how's and why's and what's new in tools and techniques. Speakers wanted! If you can demo or show off something relate to testing in Ruby, please speak up. Date: Monday, March 10, 2008 Time: 6:00pm - Socializing 6:30pm - Official start of meeting NOTE: We're planning on starting a bit sooner than usual so we're less rushed getting out for dinner.
