LA WEB DEV peeps,

The Mail Room Fund and Slingshot Labs have sponsored this next meetup.

While there are 75 people registered YES right now, only 50 + a few if we squish, will be able to attend. If you're not very serious about going, please change your registration now to open up the spot for someone very serious.

We will have three presentations,
1) Ben Sandofsky - state of TEST DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT.

Who's doing it, what are they using, why you should care.

2) Giles Bowkett - Towelie: An IRB refactoring console

Smalltalk and Eclipse automated some refactorings, but that's impossible in Ruby - or so people say. In fact, people are already developing refactoring tools, including Reek and Flay. Towelie (a work in progress) is a refactoring console which detects repetition in your Rails and Ruby applications. Every refactoring should start by discovering where you've repeated yourself in your code base. Towelie does that for you.

3) Nick Granado and Tom Berg - oAuth/LINQ/.Net MVC

bare-bones MySpace application with Opensocial container, oAuth signed requests, .Net MVC, and LINQ data analysis.

Also note the LOCATION HAS CHANGED from the originally posted Slingshot labs to WMA's offices @
William Morris Offices in Beverly Hills:

See you all there,
