September 2009 Meetup

Posted by RefreshColumbia

September 16, 2009

We’ve got two very exciting topics this month and hope you’ll all be able to make it out for our September Meetup! Venue Note: We’re back at the Richland County Library again this month!

The Lineup:

Automated Website Testing

Matt Hooper – VC3
I’ll be presenting techniques for automated website testing using WatiN, an open source tool for browser-based testing. I’ll discuss ways to approach test writing, and the pros and cons this style of integration testing vs more focused unit tests. I’ll also cover how we have used it over the past year to test some of our web-based apps at VC3.

Leveraging the Facebook Platform

Jimmy Sawczuk (@jimmysawczuk) – Startlike
I’ll start with an overview of the Facebook platform and why it’s a cool thing to use. Next I’ll show a working example, explaining how it works and how it can be modified for use by anyone who runs a Facebook Fan Page.

Win a Book!

Thanks to the user group partnerships advertised in the sidebar, we’ll be giving away a free book each month. This month we’ll be giving away a copy of Oreilly’s Designing Web Navigation by James Kalbach. We’ll choose a random attendee from the sign-in sheet between the first and second talk. Be sure to show up for a chance to win.

When: September 30th, 2009 at 6pm
Where: RC Library – Bostick Auditorium (map)
Topic: Automated Testing & Facebook Platform
RSVP: On Facebook
