Introduction

Hi! I'm the CTO at TheaterMania.com / OvationTix.com, a mature startup in NYC. I heard about this group from some colleagues in the New York CTO Club and it sounds very cool.

What languages/frameworks do you use (Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.)?

Java, PHP

What topics might you be interested in?

Oh, all of it! Cloud, HTML5, JS frameworks, SQL v NoSQL, etc. Right now, I'm trying to learn more about Analytics/BI...

Do you have any specific areas of expertise? Would you be willing to share it with the group?

I'm a bit of a generalist within the Web domain, but I'd be happy to share what I know.

What is your favorite unit test framework and why?

Our engineering team uses JUnit, and they're happy with it... I haven't spent much time with it so I'm honestly not sure of its strengths/weaknesses.

What is your favorite version control system and why?

Subversion -- it's clean and simple and it works and has so many integrations. Full disclosure: I haven't tried Git yet. But I have tried Mercurial and I thought it was overdeveloped.
