Tuesday May 15 - Automating Your Mobile Web App Testing
Interested in automating your mobile webapp testing using some cool technologies? Leveraging Geb and Spock, both groovy technologies, developers and even QA team members can build out a functional test suite for their mobile webapps with relative ease - using not only a desktop browser, but with a mobile device emulator and on actual devices as well. In this talk, I’ll provide an overview of the technologies you’ll be leveraging, then demonstrate putting them to work. We’ll walk and talk through best practice examples for using these technologies, and share tips/tricks for building out an automated functional testing suite. Finally, we’ll talk about cloud solutions that you and/or your company could employ to further your automation efforts, and answer any questions you might have, so that you can leave the meeting armed to begin your own adventures in the automated mobile web testing space.

tuesday april 17th - Power-Debugging Java Apps with the Groovy Console or the Clojure REPL
When testing or debugging an application where the objects you’re trying to inspect are large collections of complicated objects, drilling down through the object tree in the Eclipse Debugger usually isn’t very helpful. Wouldn’t it be great to interactively work with live objects just like Smalltalk or Lisp programmers do? In this talk, you’ll see how you can use the Groovy Console or the Clojure REPL to inspect *and* manipulate live Java objects in your Java projects.

Tuesday March 20th - Joist
This month Stephen Haberman will be talking to us about Joist.
Joist is an ORM based on code generation. The goal is to provide Rails-like “empty domain objects” in an ORM that is simple, pleasant to use, and, if needed, scales nicely to really large schemas.

Tuesday February 21st - Restlet
This month Paul Heaberlin will be talking with us about Restlet.
Restlet is a Java framework for building RESTful web applications. Restlet has editions for building RESTful servers and clients using Java SE, Java EE, GWT, Google App Engine, and Android. It looks like a very interesting technology.

Tuesday January 17th - Byteman
This month Jerome Watts from Werner will be presenting Byteman ( http://www.jboss.org/byteman ) a Java agent you can add to you system that allows you to change code at startup or runtime, even in your production environments. It’s a neat technology that has some interesting use cases such as adding logging after deployment, or doing fault testing by simulating networking or hardware related errors.
