Presenting at Houston Tech Fest

I have been invited to fill in for a last minute speaker cancellation at Houston Techfest. I will be presenting this coming Saturday (Jan 24) at 10:15am on the UH main campus.

My presentation is entitled, Fluent Interfaces for Testing in Java, something I worked with Rod Coffin on at work.

I did have different titles originally; it was an iterative process to settle on this one. Previous titles:

• LOTRO in a Nutshell - too dated
• LOTRO in Action - too fashionable
• LOTRO for Dummies - copyright issues

I hope to see some familiar faces on Saturday! Sample code for the talk:

public class WhenPossessingTheOneRing {
    @Test
    public void frodoShouldBeInvisibleAfterWearingIt() {
        assertThat(frodo().after().gettingTheOneRing().and().puttingItOn(),
                is(not(visible())));
    }

    @Test
    public void gandalfShouldNeverGetIt() {
        assertThat(gandalf().after().gettingTheOneRing(),
                is(corrupted()));
    }

    @Test
    public void samCanGetIt() {
        assertThat(sam().after().gettingTheOneRing(),
                is(not(corrupted())));
    }

    @Test
    public void samShouldBeInvisibleAfterWearingIt() {
        assertThat(sam().after().gettingTheOneRing().and().puttingItOn(),
                is(not(visible())));
    }

    @Test
    public void samShouldNeverWearIt() {
        assertThat(sam().after().gettingTheOneRing().and().puttingItOn(),
                is(corrupted()));
    }
}
