Featured speaker Brian Moelk will discuss Ruby on Rails, the hot Web
development framework. He'll begin with a quick introduction to the Ruby
language and Rails framework, build a simple application, and demonstrate
how Rails takes care of a lot of the grunt work. Discussion will include a
technical as well as a cultural comparison of the Delphi type of RAD with
the Rails framework approach, which many Java Web developers find
appealing.
Ruby tools such as CodeGear's new Ruby on Rails IDE, 3rd Rail, will be
demoed. (Tools, however, will not be the focus of the presentation.)
Time permitting, Brian Moelk will discuss how Ruby is already expanding
(JRuby, IronRuby, YARV) and some Rails-like frameworks such as Grails and
g-framework.
Speaker: Brian Moelk has been programming for most of his life. His formal
training began with Turbo Pascal, and he has been working with Delphi
since it first came out. Since then, coding Delphi, C++, and Java, he's
been a part of two start-ups in the Washington, DC, area.
Brian owns and runs Brain Endeavor, LLC, and cannot conceive of doing
anything other than crafting great code and helping companies use
technology effectively. When not coding, he enjoys cycling, soccer,
movies, music, and being in the moment.
Optional Networking/Socializing: Before the meeting, about 6:15 pm, we get
together informally at the Shops at National Place International Food
Court, southwest corner of 13th & F St., NW, Lower Level.
Special Guest: Marco Cantu, Author, _Delphi 2007 Handbook_, the guide to
what's new in Delphi 2007 for Win32, best-selling author of the "Mastering
Delphi" Series.
