Another month has past and it is once again time for Hackergarten.
Last month we came together and managed to write 4 new static analysis rules for the CodeNarc project, a static analysis tool for Groovy similar to FindBugs for Java. We learned a lot about Groovy AST and had a great time. You should have come by!
This month there are two groups:
- Gradle – At the very first Hackergarten we released the “Announce” Plugin for Gradle. Now that Twitter has updated their security layer, we need to rework the plugin to use OAUTH. If you want to learn about Gradle or OAUTH then come by and lend a hand. Show up with your laptop (or don’t)
- Mockito and Spock – Mockito is a mock object framework for Java, and Spock is a testing framework for Groovy. We’re going to compare the two projects against each other and create some new “developer cheatsheets” for both projects. We aren’t fully decided, but it will probably be a quick reference that other developers can hang by their monitor as a guide to the projects.
- Your Project – Got an idea? Bring it. We need project ideas: Java, Groovy, .NET, JVM, whatever.
Lastly:
- Halloween – There is a bar in Heuwaage giving free drinks to those in costume celebrating Halloween. I am bringing my sumo wrestler outfit, and I encourage you to bring your costume. Surely we will break by 10 PM to go celebrate, possibly earlier.
See you Friday!
