I had such a hip time at last year’s CodeMash that I can’t wait to attend this year’s bash; what’s more, I’ll be presenting a talk entitled “Executable documentation with easyb” (hopefully with my good friend Rod Coffin), which is going to explore how easyb enables teams to develop stories in a specific format (i.e. a DSL, baby) which are then implemented as verification assets which marries the underlying application. In this talk, those who attend will learn how to embrace collaboration and change rapidly by defining easyb stories that exercise a Java application end to end. Attendees will learn how to define specific easyb structures, how to plug them into real code, and how to run them in an automated fashion– people will see first hand how non-coders can define tests easily and how the collaboration this brings yields working software faster.CodeMash is a unique event full of a lot of energy and myriad interesting disco dancers — plus, Cleveland is a wonderful place to visit in January. That is, if you plan on spending your visit in an indoor water park, man. You can follow thediscoblog on Twitter now! Java
