Meeting May 8th 1
Our next meeting is Thursday, May 8th – 7 PM at Devry room #105, and sponsored by Veredus. We’ll have some delicious Panda Express for dinner as usual, and we have two great talks lined up this week:
First up we’ll have a talk on Agile Demystified by Robert Dempsey from Atlantic Dominion Solutions. You’ve heard all the buzzwords: self-managing team, self-organizing teams, scrum, agile. Come find out what they never tell you – how scrum works and how you can use it to improve your development and have happy customers.
Secondly we’ll have a talk on The TDD in Genetic Programming by Larry Diehl from Izea. A basic genetic programming algorithm based on Koza’s (written in Ruby) will be explained. This will use the simple Ruby Lisp’esque parse tree I presented at BarCampOrlando, and make an analogy between fitness cases in genetic programming and tests in TDD by extending the RSpec testing framework.
See you there!
Man you don’t even know how long I’ve waited for this since disabling my own Movable Type widget (that doesn’t work since Haloscan bypasses that code).
