TestFest in London

I'm Matt Raines and I'm the secretary at the PHP London user group. We're looking forward to organising an event for TestFest. We're planning to hold an evening event on 8 May at IBM's South Bank offices in London. The aim of the event is to work with a group of people new to testing and for each of them to have written at least one test by the end of the evening. We have six experienced test writers who will each teach up to four newcomers. We'll expect everyone to bring their own laptop with a text editor installed. We'll be providing PHP source and access to documentation. We plan to focus on developing tests for one specific area, and we've chosen to focus on XML functions. We'll be hosting a talk about XML at our regular monthly meeting on 1 May to get people up to speed. We're really keen to get involved with this and will be posting details of how it went and any lessons we learnt in the process in case they're useful to other people. More details of our event will be coming soon on our web site at http://phplondon.org/wiki/May_8th_2008. -- Matt Raines secretary@phplondon.org Secretary, PHP London http://www.phplondon.org/ next meeting: 1st May 2008 @ Theodore Bullfrog
