    As interesting a talk as it could be about testing. :p It definitely got me thinking about testing more, but I wish I would have known more about it going into the talk. Here's a link to the slides @ SlideShare. http://www.... Thank you BayJax, John, and Yahoo!.

    Not sure about attendance, it was a lot. The lightening talks should have been better moderated to get a higher rating.

    John Resig was awesome! Very informative. He had a competing project for almost every testing tool he presented to us, but he didn't let his ego get in the way of him recommending his competitor's tools many times over his own (which is pretty damn rare these days for a speaker to do). My only complaint was that he spent half his time discussing measuring performance. Really? How many of us in attendance were browser developers? or library developers that had that need? Not many of us I'd guess. This kind of discussion should have been better left for a different session, or a different type of meetup/group. This is not to say his Big O performance comparison table comparing the previous version of jQuery with the current one, wasn't useful. It was. That one, he should keep. It's just the rest of his measurement discussion that he should discuss with a different audience (or that he should just keep in the wings just in case someone challenges him on a performance issue).
  • Marcel Duran
    John Resig always share interesting topics in a very clear way.

    I was hoping to learn more about JQuery, but it was more a discussion on testing suites and very small snippets of JQuery 1.4.
