Comparisons and contrasts to similar technologies like Python, Perl,
LISP and Smalltalk shall be provided, contingent on audience interest.

20:00-20:05 -- Lightning presentation: Zooey - Aur Saraf

20:15-21:00 -- 2nd presentation: Testing Rails - Yoni Gross
Yoni Gross will review the procedure of testing your Rails

You get off the train at the University Station (Masof Haoniversita),
and then you go to the back of the station. From there you have a
staircase going up the cliff (it's the back exit of the station, on
its north-western part). You go all the way up the staircase, then
you're really close to the campus (you'll see the campus parking lot).
From there you just go inside the campus and find the Schreiber
building.

You're welcome to call me if you experience difficulties - 054-3084032.

Hi Adam, Great session!

I hope we will have more session about advanced topics in ruby
implementations.
It might be a good idea to give lightning talks when new stuff or
updates come out.

I also think it would be a good idea to add to this thread some links
about interesting views / blog posts about the various implementations
and their
performance.

& I'll start:

See ya in two weeks.
Yoni.
