Stuart’s Refactotum presentation encourages the audience to take the leap to make a contribution to an open source project.

Stuart walks us through a Refactotum project in which he made a small change to YUI’s DomCollapse. Along the way, we learn how to use TheFrontSide’s CrossCheck for Javascript unit testing, and get a great refactoring tutorial.
