Episode 2: The Jasmine Standalone Runner

In recent years, JavaScript has moved from a toy language and necessary evil for making websites interactive, to a first class citizen in the software development world. Along the way, better methods of working with JavaScript have been developed - including the ability to unit test. Join me as I show you the basics of how to install and use the standalone version of the Jasmine testing framework, to write unit tests for your JavaScript.
