DC ALT.NET - 8/28/2008 - Ruby with Jeff Schoolcraft

The August meeting for DC ALT.NET will be on August 28th, 2008 from 7-9PM.  Check our site and our mailing list for continuing updates and future meetings.  This month, Jeff Schoolcraft, ASP.NET MVP, will host a conversation on Ruby.  This will include some Ruby demos, a little bit of Ruby on Rails, as well as approaching it from the ASP.NET mindset.  This talk will go very nicely with our talk on ASP.NET MVC next month.

Approaching Ruby

One of the main intentions for the ALT.NET group I've found is for constant improvement.  This month is no exception as we're stepping outside of the statically typed world that many live in with C#, VB.NET, F# and so on.  We'll be covering the MRI as well as hopefully get to IronRuby.  You can find out more information on progress of IronRuby the IronRuby site.
