Palm Beach IT Users Group Annual Holiday Party!

(John Vighetto)  I want to thank everyone who showed up tonight, and it was great meeting Adam's wife, Andrea, and Ratzil's wife, Karen. Hopefully, we weren't too boring for you ladies!

This year's Grab My Package was a big hit, and I'm pretty sure that everyone got exactly what they wanted (or picked). We'll know for sure one Dave Lord posts the pictures he took on his blog.

A special thanks to Valerie, the general manager of Roxy's, for allowing us to have our get together for the 4th year now, and also Jamie the bartender and Katrina our hostess. Our 50/50 this year was won by Richard Battin (doesn't he win every time he comes...?!), with the other half of money going to the Roxy staff as a small thank you for their help in making this a huge success!

Thank you to all that attended and hope you enjoyed yourselves; I know i did!

Until next year, wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year!

(Adam Swartz) 

Good time last night. Hope you guys all took a walk down Clematis Street to see the Sandi Land Christmas Tree (big pile of sand with lights..LOL)  http://wpb.org/sand-and-sea-sun/

(Greg Kirkpatrick)  Yes, it would be important to see this before the next hard rain.

(Ratzil Rodriguez)  John, thank you for putting this extraordinary party together and all other involved. We certainly had a great time!
(John Vighetto) 
If I'm not mistaken, the city has "treated" the sand for such weather conditions.

Coders Café Deerfield Beach - 12/02/2014 - 6:30 PM - Casa Maya - Testing JavaScript with Jasmine - Jonas Stawski

Today’s Modern Web has changed the landscape on how we write, test, deploy, and maintain our web applications. More and more web apps depend on JavaScript than ever before and JavaScript is becoming a first class citizen in our day to day development on both the server and client. We will introduce the concept of Unit Testing and how to apply it to our JavaScript code using Jasmine, a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript Code. 

Jonas Stawski is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and a Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) with many years of experience building and architecting .NET applications.
