Hi, Apologies that this is offtopic but I thought people interested in Ruby would like to know...
ThoughtWorks is organizing a Geek Night event around JRuby at their Pune office on Sat, 15 Dec '07. A Geek Night is an informal gathering where we pick a hot technology topic and proceed to discuss it and learn from each others experience and perspectives. The meeting takes about two hours inclusive of eating/drinking (soft drinks only! LOL) and heckling the presentors. There is no fees for attending. Get more details here: http://thoughtworks.wikispaces.com/ Highlights: JRuby Primer : JRuby is an 100% pure-Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. It promises to give the best of both worlds, the beauty of Ruby combined with the proven Java platform. RubyWars : Play a simulation game where you write code for your strategy. So do your opponents... Of course, the best code wins. A game engine that exploits ruby meta-programing accepting your strategy as Ruby code and modifiying it's own behavior according to your strategy at runtime. Date: Saturday, 15th December 07 Time: 2 pm to 5 pm Venue: ThoughtWorks Address: ThoughtWorks Technologies GF-01 & MZ-01 Tower 'C', Panchshil Tech Park (Next to Don Bosco School) Yerwada Pune 411 006 -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
