pdxruby meeting: tonight, Tuesday, September 6th, 7pm at RHT
Igal Koshevoy
We have an action-packed Ruby meeting tonight! The Heroku and Toto
talk should be accessible and useful to beginners, while the rest are
more advanced topics, but I'll ask each speaker give a simplified
synopsis so you can at least get a gist of the topic and why it
matters.
I'll start at 7pm sharp and keep the intro short so we can dive right
into the content:
* Markus Robers will amaze and horrify you with his latest Ruby hangman puzzle.
* Koichi Sasada -- creator of YARV, the official Ruby 1.9
implementation -- will talk about new and exciting Ruby 1.9.3 features
and his recent work on improving MRI.
* Milind S. Pandit will talk about deploying a Ruby on Rails 3.1 app
to Heroku, along with overviews of Heroku and the Rails-based Toto
blog engine.
• Tim Felgentreff will talk about debugger tooling for MagLev.
• Jesse Cooke will talk about Lorentz, a Redis data store clone
written on top of the MagLev Ruby interpreter.
* Igal Koshevoy will give an overview and demo of using Vagrant for
quickly and easily providing consistent development environments for
your apps.
If the meeting starts to run late, I can give my talk next month.
See you soon!
