Refactor Phoenix

Engaging the best in the software developer community

Meet

Gather with your peers, geeks of all tribes.

Each month, Refactor Phoenix aims to assemble the curious and bright, developers, engineers, coders, and hackers.

Build

Take what you learn from Refactor Phoenix and go build better, smarter, sleeker software.

Refactor Phoenix aims to be both fun and practical.

Learn

Each month, learn from your peers and find out what’s new or on the horizon.

No lectures or preaching or grandstanding, but good conversation and technical talk.

But it’s a two-way street: Be open to new ideas and willing to talk about your own.

Upcoming Topics

23 April: Automation

Common repetitve tasks should be simple and easy. Ideally, they should look after themselves.

Integration tests, repo commits + bug report notifications; these are things that should can be improved with some simple automation.

James Britt, a principal at Happy Camper Studios, will be giving a demo on automating interaction with E-mail, IRC, revision control systems, and integration tests.

How do you automate your development tasks? Come by and share what you know.
