"The second 'book' is targeted to programmers. It describes how to build each
kind of fixture described in the first book. It also describes many other things
that need to be considered to have robust automated tests things like testing
without a database to make tests run faster. A lot of the principles will be
familiar to programmers who have used any member of the xUnit family of unit
testing frameworks. Rick and Ward show you how to put it into practice in a very
easy-to-read narrative style that uses a fictitious case study to lead you
through all the practices and decisions you are likely to encounter."
Gerard Meszaros, ClearStream Consulting
The Fit open source testing framework brings unprecedented agility to the entire
development process. Fit for Developing Software shows you how to use Fit to
clarify business rules, express them with concrete examples, and organize the
examples into test tables that drive testing throughout the software lifecycle.
Using a realistic case study, Rick Mugridge and Ward Cunningham the creator of
Fit introduce each of Fit's underlying concepts and techniques, and explain
how you can put Fit to work incrementally, with the lowest possible risk.
Highlights include
Integrating Fit into your development processes
Using Fit to promote effective communication between businesspeople, testers,
and developers
Expressing business rules that define calculations, decisions, and business
processes
Connecting Fit tables to the system with "fixtures" that check whether tests
are actually satisfied
Constructing tests for code evolution, restructuring, and other changes to
legacy systems
Managing the quality and evolution of tests

Hello, my name is tapeworm, and i am a freelance contract hacker amongst other
things. the first thing i ever learned about computers (when i was first
introduced by a friend) was the wide variety of hacking programs floating around
on the internet, it wasn't long after that my mom brought home our first
computer and i took immediate control. i just wanted to research information,
build web pages and play in chat rooms; whereas my mother just wanted to sit and
play solitaire for hours (obsessive gaming: a geek at heart). i needed a plan,
and fast.
I started coming up with ways to make it appear as though things were wrong with
the computer, then she would leave and tell me to fix it. every time she would
have me fix something when there was nothing actually wrong, i'd get at least a
couple extra hours of playtime. i got better over time, and before i knew it i
no longer had a social life.
My evil plans were eventually foiled when she was re-married to an electrician,
but luckily by that time i had my own computer anyway. currently i contribute my
free time to the open-source community, and i can be reached by my leet e-mail

Ed Burnette, "Eclipse IDE Pocket Guide"
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596100655 | August 12, 2005 Year | CHM | 0,33 Mb | 127 Pages
Eclipse is the world's most popular IDE for Java development. And although
there are plenty of large tomes that cover all the nooks and crannies of
Eclipse, what you really need is a quick, handy guide to the features that are
used over and over again in Java programming. You need answers to basic
questions such as: Where was that menu? What does that command do again? And how
can I set my classpath on a per-project basis?
This practical pocket guide gets you up to speed quickly with Eclipse. It covers
basic concepts, including Views and editors, as well as features that are not
commonly understood, such as Perspectives and Launch Configurations. You'll
learn how to write and debug your Java code--and how to integrate that code with
tools such as Ant and JUnit. You'll also get a toolbox full of tips and tricks
to handle common--and sometimes unexpected--tasks that you'll run across in your
Java development cycle.
Additionally, the Eclipse IDE Pocket Guide has a thorough appendix detailing all
of Eclipse's important views, menus, and commands.
The Eclipse IDE Pocket Guide is just the resource you need for using Eclipse,
whether it's on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Put it in your back pocket,
or just throw it in your backpack. With this guide in hand, you're ready to
tackle the Eclipse programming environment.
