We have two presentations for this meeting:
Gregg Pollack - http://www.railsenvy.com. (aka, Rails guy in the Rails
vs * videos)
"Demystifying REST" Over the last two years an increasing number
of large websites have adopted a RESTful Web Service API. We're going
to take a closer look at what REST really means, why it's becoming
more popular, and finally look at how Rails has become RESTful.
Gregory Brown - http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2593 (Creator of Ruport Ruby
Reports) will talk about resuming an open source project. Gregory
says, "much of it
will be relevant to people taking over internal projects in their
commercial work
as well. Things like how to find your way around an unknown codebase, how to
layer in testing, etc."
Also, some of us will be hanging out after the meeting at John
Harvards, 33 Dunster
St. Harvard Square.
