Orlando Ruby Users Group

Next Thursday, November 12th at 7 PM is our next meeting taking place at CoLab Orlando downtown. CoLab recently refurbished the shared working space so user group meetings are MUCH more doable. Envy Labs will be sponsoring the meeting with free food at 6 PM. See this map here for directions. Aside from free street parking I should have additional parking info in the email I send out the day before the meeting, so be sure to subscribe to the ORUG announcement list if you have not.

At 7 PM I’ll be doing a presentation titled On The Edge of Rails Performance. This is the same talk I presented at Aloha On Rails and the Rails Summit Brazil last month. Here’s the description:

Earlier this year I released a series of screencasts showing that rails ships with all the tools needed scale your rails app. Since then more Rails applications have gone into production, additional techniques have been developed for optimizing performance, and more open source libraries have been published. In this talk I’ll be showing a bunch of screencasts from these libraries and showing how they make it THAT much easier to Scale Rails.

If for some reason you get to the building after 7 PM and the front door is locked, feel free to give me a call at 407-754-5517. After the meeting we’ll have a discussion about future meetings and how we can bring more code practice into our group. If it’s important for you to become an expert programmer, then you may want to join us for this brainstorming session.

See you next week!
