Meeting Next Thursday

[Gregg Pollack]

Hey Folks,

  It's been a while, but we're back and next Thursday, June 16th and we have two presentations (and FREE DINNER) you won't want to miss.  First up Jacob Swanner will be giving a presentation on "CoffeeScript, The Basics".  Since Rails 3.1 is going to be adding support for CoffeeScript, now seems like the perfect time to learn about it, if you haven't already.  We will cover what CoffeeScript is, the syntax, and how you'd use it.

  Next up Eric Allam will be giving a talk on the "Asset Pipeline in Rails 3.1".  We'll discover how Rails 3.1 promotes Assets to a first-class Rails citizen in 3.1, and how the new Asset Pipeline allows you to use new technologies like CoffeeScript and Sass to write cleaner and more maintainable code. 

  Starting at 6:30 PM we'll have free food from Gringos Locos, and at 7 PM the talks will start.  We'll be holding the meeting at Envy Labs office (http://bit.ly/envylabs).  There should be plenty of free street parking and the elevators are right behind the Corona Cigar company on the corner of Orange and Pine.  There should be someone in the lobby to buzz you up for the meeting.  If not you can call me 407-754-5517.  If you park in the garage and you can't get up to the 10th floor, come down to the lobby and we'll buzz you up.  If you can use your Ruby skills to hack the elevators, you get extra points.

   Hope to see you next Thursday the 16th!
