Open Source Software Licensing - Isaac Slutsky from Brooks Kushman

The presentation will begin with a basic discussion of the legal issues related to open source software.

Unit Testing - Josh Koppen from Spud Software

For the Meetup, I'd like to talk Unit Testing. Defining unit tests, justifying their existence for any non-believers, differentiating unit tests from integration tests, the red-green-refactor loop and walking through some examples to illustrate tools and techniques. Finally, I'll touch on test-driven development (TDD).
