Our next meeting is Thursday, August 13th, 7 PM at Devry room #114 and we’ve got two great talks lined up. The Envy Labs crew will be meeting for dinner at 6 PM at Panda Express across the screet from Devry if you wish to join us.

First up Rodney Degracia will be giving a talk on Writing a game world for Rubyists. A detailed look at writing a shared simulation, written in Ruby, for Rubyists to chat, share objects, and programmatically extend in real time. We will discuss the design/security challenges of building the system, along with a short demo.

Next up Greg Pederson will be giving An Introduction to BrowserCMS. BrowserCMS is a rewrite of a commercial Java content management system in rails. We’ll take a look at what BrowserCMS can do with a hands on approach.

Looking forward to hangin with you guys at the meeting, hopefully see you there.

    You’re completely right… Even the new Window 7 doesn’t stand a chance versus a real OS like Mac and Linux.

    The only issue is that you can’t play some games that weren’t written for it (tho web browser games like mafia wars works just fine)
