Since RubyNation is April 1 and 2, it will suffice as the March meeting. I hope you have a ticket already, because it sold out last week. We will pick up the regular schedule with a meeting in April near the end of the month.

First Talk Description: A quick overview of the ruby4kids program and the Pario gem by William Davenport.
Second Talk Description: Introducing Rack by Ammar Yousef: Ammar is a software engineer at FGM Inc, he's been doing Rails for 4 years now and been writing code for about 11. He owns a site called Shoutreel.com, which helps people easily record and share their life's moments via short videos. He's going to be giving an introduction on Rack, a middleware interface that sits between Ruby applications and HTTP-speaking Web servers like, Phusion Passenger, Litespeed, Mongrel, Thin, and Webrick. He will go through the basics and also demo a simple Hello Rack application.
Third Talk Description: Cover Me: The Inside Scoop on Code Coverage Tools for Rails 2.3.x and Rails 3 by Dave Keener: You produce code. You create tests. But are you covering everything you need to cover? Code coverage tools like rcov and simplecov provide insight into how complete your tests really are. You may be surprised at some of the gaps in your tests, such as edge cases and failure conditions that aren't being tested. Find out how to analyze your codebase, whether it's a Rails 2.3.x legacy app or a bright and shiny Rails 3 app.
Location: This will be in NIC's training room.
