Alt.NET UK Conference will be organised again in September. The current plan is to hold the event planning session on the 12th and then have an Open Sessions day on the 13th. The event will take place at Conway Hall. For more information, monitor the Alt.NET UK newsriver.

Simplified calls to remote services are among the most useful features of the Java Spring framework.

Fixture Gallery 2.1 is immediately available for download from SourceForge. Fixture Gallery is a cookbook for FIT/FitNesse tests. It provides developers with a quick overview of the most important fixture types and concepts for agile acceptance testing using the FIT framework. For each fixture type, this document explains the table format and fixture class structure and provides advice when to use and when not to use it. Each example is accompanied by the source code for Java, .NET, Python and Smalltalk FIT implementations, in a form that can be easily copied and used as a template for similar fixtures.

Version 2.1 brings Smalltalk examples for all fixtures in the document. I’d like to thank Randy Coulman for providing these examples.

I had a really great time today at Tesco.Com — thanks for inviting me to talk about acceptance testing and thanks again for the champagne. Here are the slides and links from the talk:

• L.G.Shattuck — Communicating Intent and Imparting Presence
• William Crain — The Mission: The Dilemma of Specified Task and Implied Commander’s Intent
• James Shore: How I use Fit
• FitNesse.Org — main FitNesse web site
• Fitnesse.info — Community site with lots of examples
• Fixture gallery — copy-paste examples for all important FIT fixture types

As always, it was a real pleasure to talk at Skills Matter yesterday. Thanks to everyone who attended the talk. There was quite an interest in this talk, and we might do a re-run for the people who could not make it this time. If you’d like to attend a re-run of the talk soon, drop an e-mail to the organisers and I’ll be happy to do it if there is enough interest.

Here are the slides from the talk. The video should be online at skillsmatter.com soon as well (subscribe to the RSS feed to get notified about that).

These are the links that I mentioned in the talk:

• Spring/Hibernate rollback example
• DbFit project pages on FitNesse.info
