Hi Folks, we're ready to rock our first set of talks for the new year. WHAT IF SHAKESPEARE WROTE RUBY? Adam Cuppy asks: Did you know that Shakespeare wrote almost no direction into his plays? Of the 1700 words he created, there was no official dictionary.In this talk, we're going "thee and thou” with one of the greatest poets in history. Adam is going to give you a crash course in how: Shakespeare writes software.
ADMINISTRATE: THE NEW ADMIN INTERFACE GEM Kaitlin Abrahamson will be covering a promising new admin interface gem, administrate. Inspired by ActiveAdmin and Rails Admin, administrate aims to be an easy customization experience for developers by avoiding DSL's and relying on simple Rails controllers and views.

This is your chance to join the leadership at SDRuby. We're looking for someone to take ownership of keeping meetup.com, the mailing list and Twitter up to date along with answering logistics questions (how do I get to the meeting? can I bring my dog? that kind of thing). If you're interested please email me off list. SPEAK AT THE NEXT MEETING Wanna talk at our next meeting? Have a topic you want someone else to talk about? Post a proposal to SDRuby.org.
