London Ruby User Group:Lessons learned BDD-ing a command-line utility gem
Lessons learned BDD-ing a command-line utility gem
Also known as: "end to end is harder than you think". Chris Parsons describes this talk as follows:
In this talk Chris will take us through how he test-drove the development of a command line utility built as a gem, designed to connect to servers via SSH and HTTP. We'll discuss the use of Aruba for command line testing in cucumber, how to deal with external connections, and how to discover your service interfaces as you build the client.

Brian Sletten's Semantic Web Technologies Bootcamp
Brian Sletten's five day Semantic Web Technologies Bootcamp provides a broad, example-driven and compelling vision of computing's future. Organisations are struggling with data integration solutions that operate at the wrong level of abstraction or are shackled to legacy systems with no idea of how to modernize incrementally. Their service-oriented architectures decompose business processes into services without the ability to identify and protect the information that flows through these services. In this course, you will learn how the technical and business value of Web semantics is available and useful today behind firewalls as well as on the public Web. More information

Damjan Vujnovic's Advanced JavaScript Workshop
As Douglas Crockford once said, JavaScript is the world's most misunderstood programming language. It is also one of the world's most popular programming languages and one of the cornerstones of a modern web application development. With web clients becoming thicker and more complex, it is no longer easy to get away with sloppy, ad-hoc JavaScript programming style. In this advanced JavaScript hands-on course you will learn how to write good code (by employing its good features and avoiding quirks and common pitfalls).

Peter Lubbers' HTML5 “Fast Track”
In this HTML5 “Fast Track” training course, you will learn how to create HTML5 web pages and web applications using HTML5 markup and HTML5 JavaScript APIs.HTML5 is the next major milestone in HTML and it is not just another incremental enhancement; it represents an enormous advance for modern web applications. HTML5 is such a big step forward that it prompted Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering at Google, to say “The web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years… we're betting big on HTML5.” A large number of features are already supported in browsers, so it is time to start using it!
