Orlando Ruby Users Group

Our next meeting is Thursday, March 27th, 7 PM at Devry in Room #121, sponsored by Veredus. We’ll have delicious dinner from Panda Express just like last time, and two talks that you don’t need to be a Ruby expert to understand.

First up, Nathaniel Bibler will be giving an overview of what’s available today through Amazon Web Services (AWS). He’ll give some ideas and tips for working with these services, and how they can increase your productivity, security, and / or bottom line.

Then we’ll have Scott Ahten give a talk on CakePHP for Rails Developers. Topics include: framework conventions, creating models, views, controllers, availability of third-party extensions, and hosting. Even if you’re comfortable in Rails, it will be great to see if we can gleam any new ideas from this popular MVC framework.

Lastly, a few of us are going to be going to the They Might Be Giants concert tomorrow night (Thursday, March 12). I’m pretty sure tickets are still available, so it’d be great to see you guys out.
