Setting up your New Years Resolution: JsTestDriver Part 1

Gina Cook

Getting JsTestDriver set up requires reading almost every issue in the issue tracker but it's worth it. Gina will present her findings to us and help us fullfil our testing resolutions. JsTestDriver is a test runner for Javascript unit tests that supports 3rd party frameworks.

Readability through code formatting, idioms and compression tolerance

Laurent Villeneuve

After fiddling with code formatting for many years, Laurent will share some aspects of his idiosyncratic JS style. From comma-in-front formatting, to compression tolerance, to the elimination of flow control statement, we'll see how code can be transmuted to data for better scanability and eventually, architecture.

Special Event

StartupWeekend is coming in Montreal for the first time Feb 3rd, 4th and 5th. Entrepreneurs, developers and designers are invited to team up, design, make and launch a start-up in 54 hours, and then present in front of a panel of judges.
