Introduction
Hi folks. I'm a senior developer with 10 years of Java web application development experience. I recently made a move from a large IT department to a small company with a 2-person tech team.
What languages/frameworks do you use (Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.)?
Mostly Java and lately a lot of JavaScript since I started using Dojo. Recently I have gotten excited about Spock for unit testing and Selenium/Webdriver since my side project is automating our qa.
What topics might you be interested in?
Anything to do with making decisions about development processes, choice of technologies, and influencing decision-makers.
Do you have any specific areas of expertise? Would you be willing to share it with the group?
Most of my experience is in java web application development. Yes, I'd be willing to share on specific topics with the group.
What is your favorite unit test framework and why?
Spock, for so many reasons: 1. The output on failed tests is a huge advantage over the stack traces you get from JUnit 2. Real-English method names 3. Simple syntax for testing a wide data range in a single test 4. Lets me run all the java code I want within tests 5. It's a great way to start to learn Groovy on the job alongside my usual java development
What is your favorite version control system and why?
Git. It's the first system I've used where branching is a trivial act so it's simple to flip from one complete code set to another. Also, much faster than whatever else I've tried.
