You can get more directions an information about the InstallFest at http://wplug.ece.cmu.edu/wiki/index.php/Meeting-20070811 During this meeting we'll be creating a Spring Web Flow application using Tomcat on Linux as the deployment target. We don't have much Spring experience among us, so we could use some help with that aspect. But regardless, we'll get the testing / configuration management system setup just like we did for the first Iteration 0. If anyone has experience with Spring Web Flow we'd appreciate some help in that area. Requests for other aspects are welcome (Maven vs Ant; Watir vs Selenium; etc..) Everyone is welcome. Bring your laptop, and we'll split the work up as much as possible so everyone can get a chance to work through the various setups.. ===================================================================== Iteration 0 is a small group meeting intent on helping developers understand the necessary steps in bootstrapping a project. While the Dojo is focused on the academic, theoretical aspect of programming, the Iteration 0 efforts will focus on the pragmatic task of establishing application servers, build environments, source control, etc.. necessary in getting a project started. -- ============== Greg Akins http://www.pghcodingdojo.org http://www.insomnia-consulting.org/monologue From robert at robertblackwell.com Tue Aug 7 11:23:42 2007 From: robert at robertblackwell.com (Robert Blackwell) Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2007 14:23:42 -0400 Subject: [pgh-pm] Pittsburgh Perl Mongers | Meeting | Thursday Aug 9, 2007 Message-ID: <46B8B8AE.6060409@robertblackwell.com> Meeting Thursday Aug 9, 2007 at 7:00.
