So, how do you go from being someone who wants to test, to someone who actually tests all the time? Do you need a spiritual guide who can show you the intricacies of testing, and how it can make your code better? If so, you need "TATFT, the laymen's guide to getting it right the first time." <p> We have some T-shirts to give out (Radrails/RubyNation), and some Radrails books, too. <p> <b>Speaker:</b> "Only write code to make your tests pass." A simple statement for many, but a way of life for Bryan Liles. Writing tests and blogging, speaking, and demonstrating everything associated is a passion that Bryan expends way too much time evangelizing. Bryan started his professional life as a Unix admin and has slowly realized that writing code was his passion, so now he spends all his time hacking on the latest and greatest technologies. <p><b>Location:</b> <br>FGM, Inc. <br>12021 Sunset Hills Road <br>Suite 400 <br>Reston, VA 20190 <p>Ph.: Call 703.727.1307 (Gray) and someone will let you in to the building.
