rspec users - Nov 2006 - Hi everybody! Greetings from sunny Columbus, OH!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop onto the list and say hi.  My  
name is Chad Humphries and I am a partner at a ruby and rails shop in  
Columbus, OH called EdgeCase.

Up until two months ago we were doing all of our dev work in  
test:unit.  I had read about RSpec before and after hearing Jim  
Weirich speak at the Columbus Ruby Brigade about similar ideas I  
decided to give it a go for a personal project.  Finally a framework  
that works the way I think for testing!  I quickly used my advanced  
powers of peer pressure to get Joe, Ken and Aaron at the office to  
look at it.  We are now doing all new development on RSpec for rails.

I''ve been actively involved in the past in many projects such as  
log4net/j, ibatis, and others.  Consider this my hello email and  
notice that I will try my best to submit patches, documentation, and  
general feedback in the upcoming days and weeks to help this great  
framework.

Welcome Chad! Glad to hear you''re enjoying rspec.

You may be interested in the rspec-devel list for more framework

Ooops. Typo. I think you meant "behaviour driving my code" ;-)

That''s awesome. Joe told me the same. (We''re both
ex-ThoughtWorks colleagues)

Sweet. Although spec/rails has got some serious love lately I expect
that that''s where most of the effort will be in the near future. If we
could get help cutting down on the RFEs and bugs recorded at RubyForge
that would be great.

Cheers,
