UPDATE: I arrived a little early this evening and Google Maps shows the wrong location for the address. It is in the same courtyard as shown, so park anywhere, but the actual location is on your left as you drive in to the courtyard (or on your right if you start to walk back up the access road). It is marked as 2027.
This month we will be meeting at LinkedIn HQ in Mountain View, near the Google campus. The location can be seen in the accompanying link, but we will be using a different building than the last meeting at LinkedIn - and this promises to be a quieter venue than the kitchen area.
Bill Venners will be conducting a part orientation and part design review of ScalaTest. For those of you who do not know, ScalaTest is a very nice testing framework for Scala that is able to layer itself onto almost any other testing framework and enhance it. Indeed, ScalaTest may prove to be a way to pilot Scala usage in a Java shop, by dipping a toe in the water to write a few tests in Scala (and save a lot of time along the way). Bill is closing in on a 1.0 release and this will be a tech heavy session where Bill hopes to get pointers and feedback to finish the API.
There are a number of places close by that you could stop in at to get some takeout food. As usual we will aim to meet at 6.45pm in the building lobby, for a prompt start at 7pm.
