A Gentle Introduction to Debugging and Testing Node Web Apps

[sjones6]

Talk Proposal Template

Your name: Spencer Jones

Your idea: This talk is a code-heavy, beginner-friendly, introduction to testing Node.js web applications. I will demonstrate how to wire together tools like Mocha, Supertest, and a debugging environment for a high-efficiency and pleasant development experience. At the end, listeners will be able to abandon debugging with console.log and feel confident writing tests against their APIs.

Approx length: 20 mins, 30-35 would be preferable. (keep this number betweeen 1 and 20 minutes, please)

I'm available January 2018 and following.

@sjones6 Would be able to give this talk on Feb 20?

[sjones6]

@danmactough : Thanks! Unfortunately, now I've got to move in February :( Any chance that March or April would be open?

[danmactough]

Yup. March 20 or April 17. Have a preference? March?

[sjones6]

Let's do March 20!

Can I plan for 30 mins?

[danmactough]

Yup. 30 minutes is perfect.
