Cucumber has been getting quite a bit of attention in the community and with the new RSpec Book on nearing publication, I predict that by this time next year, it’ll become a household word like boanthropy.
What is Cucumber?
The Cucumber project describes itself as a suite that, “lets software development teams describe how software should behave in plain text. The text is written in a business-readable domain-specific language and serves as documentation, automated tests and development-aid – all rolled into one format.“
One of the great things about Cucumber is that it can be used to test applications in any language. I haven’t been able to track down a lot of articles of how people are using it with other languages, so please comment if you’re aware of some.
In any event, I’ve been collecting and reading resources from a variety of Cucumber aficionados and thought I’d share some links with you. To round it out, I asked on twitter for some others so that I could hit twenty. :-)

FREE RECIPE: Cucumber Water
And now…for the reason you are all here! If you like cucumbers (eating them)... I would highly recommend heading to your local farmers market and purchasing some cucumbers. Aside from being healthy to eat… they can help make a tasty beverage.
Then do the following…
- Chop several slices of a cucumber
- Fill a pitcher with cold water and ice
- Toss in slices of cucumber
- Stir and leave in fridge for a while
- Take out of fridge, pour into cup…
- Drink… hack… and enjoy
Be sure to check out, How to Make Cucumber Water on wikihow for details.
Happy Hacking!

Not so much for the recipe; to quote Samuel Johnson:
“It has been a common saying of physicians in England, that a cucumber should be well sliced, and dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out, as good for nothing.”
