Agenda

Improve confidence in your code with mutation testing

Rafał Szałański:

In this talk I'm going to explain mutation testing and how it helped me be more confident about my Ruby code, and also how to write better Ruby in the future.

  1. Skills Matter : London Ruby User Group : Improve confidence in your code with mutation testing

Giving my enemies a voice

Shen Sat:

I'm remaking a classic boxing video game, with a twist: the narrative is defined through the hopes, dreams and desires of the player's opponents, not the player themselves. I'll be talking about flipping enemy design in games on its head, as well as demoing a key part of my boxing game: the trash-talk engine!

  1. Skills Matter : London Ruby User Group : Giving my enemies a voice

Afterwards

We plan to finish around 8pm. That's not the end of the evening though, so if you'd like to socialise with other LRUG attendees and chat about all the talks you've just seen you have two choices:

  1. Code Node. Skills Matter run a bar with a choice of drinks (hard and soft) available. As well as other LRUG members you can network with attendees of the other meetups that Skills Matter are hosting on the same night.
  2. The Singer Tavern. This bar is a short walk north from Code Node (you can find it at 1 City Road, EC1Y 1AG). This pub has a decent food menu on offer as well as a selection of drinks and other LRUG attendees to help you while the evening away.

Regardless of what you choose to do, please remember that this part of the meeting is still covered by our code of conduct even though it does seem more informal.

If you can't attend the talks we'd still be very happy to see you at this part of the meeting. Do come along!

Registration

To secure a place at the meeting you must register with our hosts Skills Matter. It helps to make sure we have the room laid out with enough chairs, and in extreme cases that we get priority on the larger rooms over other groups using the space on the same night. Also, it's good manners, so please do register with Skills Matter.
