The May NovaRUG meeting is going to happen this Wednesday night May 17 at FGM (located here) with talks starting at 7:00pm and going until 9:00 or so. InfoEther will again be providing pizza and FGM will be providing drinks. If you want to partake of the grub be there between 6:30 and 7:00. I am going to be presenting on my Alph library which bridges the Flash runtime with the Ruby runtime. InfoEther is using this library in our product development, and I will be posting an updated version Wednesday (the current version on RubyForge is OLD). It would be great if folks would email me directly if you plan on attending so I can get the pizza count right. Thanks!

March NovaRUG Meeting

Posted by Rich Kilmer Fri, 17 Mar 2006 18:09:00 GMT

We want to announce the next NovaRUG meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday night Mar. 22 at FGM (located here) with talks starting at 7:00pm and going until 9:00 or so. InfoEther will again be providing pizza and FGM will be providing drinks. If you want to partake of the grub be there between 6:30 and 7:00. I will post the agenda early next week. Look forward to seeing everyone there (and sorry that the February meeting did not occur).

[UPDATE] Devin Mullins has agreed to do a talk on metaprogramming with Ruby. If you have ever wondered why DHH chose Ruby to build Rails, this talk is for you. It will show you the tools that allow Rails to "feel" so natural to use for Web development. Its not really a Rails talk, but an exploration of interesting elements of Ruby in regard to metaprogramming techniques. This talk will be interactive...as in coding on the fly...not powerpoint drudgery. Expect to learn good stuff and engage in great conversation!

NovaRug Meeting on Wednesday 25

Posted by Rich Kilmer Mon, 23 Jan 2006 20:35:00 GMT

We are still on for tomorrow night (January 25) for the first NovaRug Meeting. The agenda is basically 6:30pm for pizza, 7pm-9pm for the meeting. I will be presenting a project that I built for the USAF in Ruby and Flash. Its a pretty interesting example of many of things that make Ruby such a wonderful language. We can also discuss what the Rug wants to do at future meetings and whether collaborating on some Ruby projects would be of interest to local folks. If folks have projects that they are working on in Ruby, we will have time if you want to share. I will demo our Ruby/Flash product as well...a sneak peek at our pre-beta 1 version. See you all tomorrow!

NovaRUG is the Northern Virginia Ruby User's Group. NovaRUG has never really met per se, but that is about to change! We are proud to announce that the first NovaRUG meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday night Jan. 25 at FGM (located here) with talks starting at 7:00pm and going until 9:00 or so. I will post again soon with an outline agenda...but InfoEther will be providing pizza and FGM will be providing drinks. So everyone else just provide energy and attention and it will be a blast.
