For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

Cucumber is a behaviour driven development tool written in Ruby, and primarily (but not exclusively) for use in Ruby.

I'm logging this largely for the record - Cucumber comes as a Ruby Gem and easily installs.

  Usage: cucumber [options] [ [FILE|DIR|URL][:LINE[:LINE]*] ]+
  
  Examples:
  cucumber examples/i18n/en/features
  cucumber @rerun.txt (See --format rerun)
  cucumber examples/i18n/it/features/somma.feature:6:98:113
  cucumber -s -i http://rubyurl.com/eeCl
  etc ... all options listed!


First use turns out to be not quote so simple - you need to specify a behaviour, then code that tests that behaviour, then the class / code that implements that behaviour. Easy if you're lead through it on one of our Ruby courses or you might like to take the very first steps from [here]
