It would be interesting to see if your group found the RSpec book more stimulating than the LA Ruby Study group did. Don't get me wrong, it was a good book. But without a project we were all in the middle of, we didn't find it very converstaion provoking. In fact, we were sufficiently disstatisfied with the experience of just reading the book, we took a couple months and just tried to do a group project via BDD with cucumber and rspec. Working on a project and using Cucumber as a design tool was pretty interesting. But ultimately we couldn't really make a lot of progress while just working on things once a week. So the group recently went back to being a reading group and is now trying to get more folks into the Rails community by teaching Agile Web Development with Ruby on Rails.. Just our group's experience. Let us know how things go for your group. -- Cynthia N. Kiser [email protected] -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
