GTAC 2008 Video and slides available

Posted by: Andres Almiray on October 31, 2008

The third installment of the Google Test Automation Conference (GTAC for short) took place last week at the W hotel in Seattle. I had the honor to be accepted as speaker and gladly made the trip to grunge music's hometown. Nothing could have prepared me for what happened there.

There were so many people interested that the venue had to be changed in order to allocate all attendees (about 250, a lot more than last year for what I've been told); the staff was on top of all things, always ready to help, everything went smoothly and we had a swell time discussing testing related topics. Hats off to Lydia Ash and the GTAC committee for an excellent and well organized event. Video streams of some of the talks are already available from YouTube, just search for "GTAC 2008" ;-) Here is the one from my talk: Boosting your Testing Productivity with Groovy



Here are the slides used on that talk



Hope you enjoy them. On a personal note, I met with David Calavera (@calavera), fellow open source believer and member of the NetBeans Groovy team :-D his presentation topic was what is AtomPub and how to test it.
