The next ALE-NW@SPSU meeting is being held Tuesday March 14th, 2013 at 7:30pm in<br>
room J-266 of the Atrium (J) building on the SPSU campus.<br>
<br>
===================================<br>
The feature presentation will be by Alan Hecht presenting on:<br>
<br>
Ruby on Rails for the Uninformed<br>
<br>
---------<br>
Abstract:<br>
<br>
It's been a while since Ruby on Rails was the latest fad in programming. Since<br>
that time Ruby on Rails has matured into a useful web application framework for<br>
database backed web sites. This overview will show why you should learn Ruby on<br>
Rails as well as when it is useful to use.<br>
<br>
---------<br>
Bio:<br>
<br>
Alan has been a UNIX user since the days of BSD 4.3 and a Linux user since 1998.<br>
Alan's career has spanned everything from commercial simulation software written<br>
in Fortran on a VAX to Fortune 50 MIS applications running on UNIX minicomputers<br>
to shrink-wrap Windows accounting software to commercial web sites written in<br>
Ruby on Rails. By day, Alan is a lead developer at Primedia working on web<br>
applications using Ruby along with dabbling in DevOps. Alan runs a bi-weekly<br>
Ruby on Rails tutorial meetup sponsored by Primedia and the Atlanta Ruby Users<br>
Group.<br>
<br>
<br>
===================================<br>
If there is time remaining, a few lightning talks might be presented:<br>
* Show and tell from the group (an R-Pi router would be nice)<br>
* Media Library Organization for XBMC<br>
* What Do Distro Support Cycles Mean?<br>
<br>
<br>
