PDXjs May Meeting Recap

08 July 2009

At our May meeting the air was abuzz with preparations for Open Source Bridge. Scott Becker was preparing a topic on behavior-driven development in JavaScript with a focus on using Screw.Unit. Screw.Unit is a spec framework based on Ruby’s RSpec. Scott gave a preview of that talk for the JavaScript Admirers.

Notes from Scott’s talk at OSBridge are online on the OSBridge website.

I was also working on my own OSBridge talk on cluster analysis. Cluster analysis is a statistical analysis technique that is used to find patterns in a data set based on known similarities of elements in that set.

Code from my presentation and slides from my talk at OSBridge are available online.
