The next couple meetings will be about practicing TDD (Test Driven Development). In February, Dan Mullins will give an overview of TDD fundamentals. In March, Brandon Carlson will show examples of real-world benefits. Most people think writing tests only pays off in the long-term. A security blanket running in the CI server to catch future bugs. Unfortunately, tests tend to get lost when a project needs to be "done" now. By writing tests before you write code, you will see benefits in the short-tem too. Unit testing tools like Mockito and JUnit speed up your development by shortening feedback loops and isolating modules from outside failures. Functional testing tools like Cucumber and Fitnesse let you understand when something is "Done" and become the "executable documentation" UML diagrams never were. We'll talk about the difference between Unit and Functional tests, walk through adding a new feature to a project, and talk about some IDE shortcuts that make TDD simpler.

Dan Mullins will be talking about building thick clients in java with Griffon and Groovy. Most of us gave up on Swing after our first GridBagLayout experience, but there have been some exciting changes lately. After seeing the success Grails had with Groovy, a project was started to apply the same magic to thick clients. Take advantage of Groovy, Webstart and years of open-source swing libraries to build truly cross-platform applications. Slides Source Code Time: 11/3/2009 6:00 |

Sud Ramasamy will be talking about using SpringSource DM Server to build and deploy OSGI based webapps. OSGI is a modular framework that lets you build applications as a series of "modules", each having their own classpath and lifecycle.Unlike traditional wars which you require to package all dependent jars, OSGI bundles expose an interface and encapsulate the implementation. Allowing multiple versions of a service to run on the same server. Time: 10/6/2009 6:00Food: Pizza will be provided by Source Allies
