MHVLUG is proud to announce our February 2009 meeting: Ruby on Rails Every wonder about all this hype around Ruby on Rails? Why everyone is talking about it? What is that Rails thing all about? Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. Spoken plainly, this means an application framework that makes it very quick to develop a new web application, very easy to extend an existing application, and makes long term maintenance of these applications extremely clear and simple. Sean Dague will be presenting getting started with Ruby on Rails. This will include developing a simple web application from scratch to show some of the basic principles of working with Ruby on Rails. The presentation will also demonstrate how to use Ruby on Rails to work with legacy systems, and show a number of applications and source code built on top of Rails written by Sean. Before the main talk we will do a series of lightning talks (up to 3), each 10 minutes or less, on something Open Source related. It could be a fun new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. People that have posted their talk subject to the wiki in advance have priority. Time permitting, we'll also take impromptu lightning talks from the floor. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30, to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting. We often have Ubuntu CDs, OpenCDs, or Prentice Hall technical books to give away. They will be given away on a first come first served basis, so be sure to get there on time. The meeting will take place at the Mid Hudson Library System Auditorium, in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Wednesday, February 4 from 6pm - 8pm. A nice map to the Auditorium can be found here: http://midhudson.org/help/mhls_building_map.htm. All meetings are *free* and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! In addition, after each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner (http://www.thepalacediner.com/) on Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments are strongly welcomed. For more details, please see http://mhvlug.org.
