Grumpy Programmer, Chris Hartjes, will talk about testing.
Details
Long-time PHP testing evangelist Chris Hartjes (https://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/) helps launch the inaugural York Region
PHP User Group meeting with a talk entitled "Embrace Your Inner Grumpy Programmer"
that looks at existing trends and why it's time to set aside your excuses and
prejudices and learn how to test your PHP code.
Chris is the author of many books (http://www.grumpy-learning.com/), co-host of the /dev/hell (http://devhell.info/) podcast, and co-organizer of the True North PHP conference (http://truenorthphp.com/).
Chris has been burning up the air miles this year speaking at many conferences, including the PHP Australia Conference (http://phpconference.com.au/schedule/).
I met Chris at last year's True North PHP Conference, and afterwards listened to his NoCapes interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttg-zfk_JlI).
I am really looking forward to this talk. Bring your questions!
