[dc.us] Introduction to Ruby on Rails
Charles Calvert
Have you heard of Ruby on Rails, and want to know more? Come hear
Rubyist David Keener's introduction to Ruby on Rails on June 9th at
the Olive Garden in Tysons Corner.
In addition to the program, you'll have an opportunity to network with
others in your profession and other segments of the industry. Bring
lots of business cards.
Description: Since its public unveiling in 2004, Ruby on Rails has
taken the web development world by storm. Rails is an open-source
framework, built using the Ruby programming language, that promotes
high productivity and reduced development times for real-world web
sites. This talk will provide a high-level tour of the features of
Ruby on Rails. It will also show how this technology is being
leveraged to create on-line businesses and web sites. You don't have
to be a programmer to learn more about how Ruby on Rails can power
your on-line business.
Bio: David Keener is a writer and technical architect with over 20
years of experience; he blogs regularly at KeenerTech.com. He is a
technical architect for Grab Networks, the company known for streaming
the Beijing Olympics over the web and for distributing more news
videos in the US than any other company except MSNBC.
