Your Toughest Rails Problem
Our Dec 20, 2008 meeting will be all about code. Bring your laptop and your toughest Ruby on Rails problem and we’ll attack the problem as a group. The meeting will start with 5-minute lightening talks followed by an intense collaboration session. If we don’t solve the problem, we’ll at least make a dent in it!
Thanks: Jeff Cohen & Lee DeForest
Thank you Jeff Cohen for a great presentation at our November meeting. Jeff says that live demos never work in front of people. His demo worked, so what does that say about us??
Thanks also to Lee DeForest of DeForest Group for giving us a great place to meet.
