Biography
Ian is a Portland-area software utility player who spends his (heh) “spare time” recklessly concocting music, teaching his rug rats how to bicycle, and composing lists in threes.
He is also the author of Scripted GUI Testing With Ruby and co-author of Using JRuby, both published by the Pragmatic Programmers.

* Hands-on with Cucumber
Cucumber is a Ruby-based toolkit that supports writing tests -- user interface tests, in our case -- in plain English. Or even plain Esperanto. Curious about Cucumber, but haven't had the chance to try it on something substantial yet? Stop on by!
