Please join us for our June meeting of the Austin IEEE Computer Society. This meeting was cancelled in May, but is back on for June! Paul Hammant is one of the co-creators of the original Selenium and his talk will likely be of interest to many of us.

Title: Client-Side MVC: The Next Big Thing for Enterprise Application Development
Date/Time: Wednesday, June 20th, 2012, 6:30 - 8:45 pm
Sign-Up: https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/12115

Abstract:
Paul will talk through an industry trend that sees the migration of the coding of web applications servers to clients. For this new "Client-Side MVC" way of constructing applications, he will go over the alternate technologies for implementing it, suggest the complementary server-side technology choices and illustrate the developer throughput gains from adopting these technologies. Paul will show a client-side MVC application, and demonstrate the use of Selenium (the de facto standard QA automation tool) for the testing of it.
