CSS Day 2
Early morning ride over the Great Divide. Chambers Brothers singin', "I've been psychedelicized." Me too.
Building Web Applications with Cocoon - Bryan Zarnett, Red Hook Group:
Replace JSP's with XML Documents, replace Struts with something else. Speaker introduced the Cocoon Framework, including Pipeline, Sitemap, Matcher, Generator, Transformer, Serilizer, and Actions. "Once you get the idea of it, it all flows together really quick." says Zarnett. Yeah right.
Automated Testing of Web Applications using XML - dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting
Speaker gave an overview of JUnit, HTTPUnit, Cactus, Ant, and other testing frameworks. He tried to emphasize that testing should focus on the user experience. Unit tests that make sure the code works are for the development team. They are necessary and should be automated since testing diligence slips the closer the team gets to a release. The user doesn't care about the technology behind the app.
Deciphering Regular Expressions - Bryan Zarnett, Red Hook Solutions:
An introduction to regular expressions and how to use them in JDK 1.4.x and earlier JDK's. Regular expressions are really another language. The JDK 1.4 Regular Expressions are based on Perl 5. The challenge in using Regular Expressions is to remember the metacharaters. There are many packages for the other JDK's including packages from IBM and Apache.
