Open Source Bridge

David Wheeler is a consultant and developer presenting Unit Test Your Database at 10am on Thursday, June 18.

Here’s why you should attend my Open Source Bridge talk, “Unit Test Your Database!”:

• To see test-driven development in action
• To watch me ship well-tested code with a serious bug
• To witness on-stage beer consumption
• To laugh at testing misconceptions
• To get religion for testing databases
• Hallelujah!

There are other great talks at OSB to check out. Personally, I want to see:

• “Introduction to Parrot.” This sucker is stable and ready to rock your code!
• “Project Management Should be Boring!” Because I hate project management.
• “Building a SQL Database That Works.” We app developers need to better understand how RDBMSs really work.
• “Advanced Git tutorial: Not your average VCS.” Because for such a simple system, there is *so* much to learn!
• “Open Source Microblogging with Laconica.” Because I don’t really get it.

Such great stuff!
