HanselMinutes #4

Scott Hanselman has started a podcast called HanselMinutes to talk tools and utilities. Episode #4 on Continuous Integration caught my attention because of 2 names mentioned during the discussion of the Ruby Watir library. Both Dustin Woodhouse and Travis Illig got mentioned because of tools they have written to integrate the Watir functionality at development or test time. Travis wrote RubyTestExecutor which hooks Ruby/Watir scripts up with NUnit. Dustin wrote WatirNUt which is a utility that creates a portable, testable NUnit binary wrapper around Watir test scripts and supporting files.

These two individuals and their tools are interesting to me because they both work on teams I manage and I'm excited to see my guys pushing the envelope.

Scott was also kind enough to mention me as one of the local XP experts (my 30 seconds of podcast fame).
