LRUG Mocking Talk

Posted by James Mead Tue, 10 Jul 2007 09:40:00 GMT

I did a presentation at the LRUG meeting last night. The title of the talk was An Introduction to Mocking in Ruby. I’m not big on public speaking so I found the whole thing a bit daunting, so thanks to everyone for being so friendly.

In retrospect I think I spent too much time on preparing the slides and not enough time practicing it. The fact that hadn’t read the whole thing through in one go meant I had no idea how long it would be. Inevitably I ended up over-running which curtailed Tom Stuart’s excellent presentation on RSpec. I felt particularly bad because he was obviously a much better presenter than me.

I hope to make my slides available at some point – this should fairly easy, because I used Paul’s excellent mashup of the S5 slide show system with Textile and Syntax.

    Thanks for the flattery, but your talk was great! The overrun was caused by everything starting >10 minutes late, I’m sure. (The survival-horror lighting effects might’ve been a contributing factor too.)

    James – I gave my talk comparing FlexMock and Mocha to the local Ruby developers group last night and thought you might like to check it out. I just posted a recap complete with slides.

    Thanks for the tip on the new parameter matchers (it actually came up during the presentation) – keep up the good work!
