Hi all,<br><br>I was thinking about next months meeting, and wondering if rather than saying "Hey, who wants to do a talk?", it might be an idea to find out what people are interested in hearing something about. Maybe then someone will say, "Oh, I know a bit about that, I'll say something. I'd have suggested it myself, but I didn't think anyone would be interested."
<br><br>I'm also quite interested in the suggestion Tom Armitage made about short "lighning-talk" style presentations, as I think they'd open up the floor to more lively debate. Let's face it, with only 5 minutes you've got to be opinionated as you ave no time to explain your reasoning and that's bound to cause some sparks in a way that a 15 minute presentation where you can explain yourself more clearly wouldn't.
<br><br>So, with that in mind, feel free to suggest topics big and small. To get the ball rolling I'd be interested in:<br><br>* RSpec - how does it differ from bog-standard Test::Unit and, perhaps most importantly, how it should it's pronunciation differ from "Arse Peck" to avoid embarrassment.
<br>* inject() - people are always harping on about how amazing and yet underused this method is. You've got 5 mins; prove it!<br>* Piston and/or svk - there's a lot of buzz about these, anyone care to give a little "vendor" demo?
<br><br>So, anyone else?<br><br>Muz<br>
