Our meetings are open to all experience levels, from total novices to expert Rubyists.
Current agenda:
- "Client Side MVC with Backbone and Rails" by Tom Zeng - We will do live coding to build a client side MVC app from scratch using Backbone and Rails and also look at some alternatives like Sencha Touch, Ember, Spine, and Angular.
- "Election Results on Rails" by Jacob Harris - For the past three elections, the New York Times has served election result from Rails applications. This talk will look at how we used Rails' strengths and bypassed its weaknesses to deliver election results to massive audiences.
We now meet monthly at Logik's new headquaters, now located at 1400 I (Eye) Street NW, Suite 800 Washington, DC 20005. The closest Metro stop is McPherson Square.
We always need presenters, so if you have a topic or project on which you'd like to do a 30-minute presentation on anything Ruby-related, Rails-related or possibly of interest to Ruby developers, please contact our organizers Dave Naffis and Jim Gay at [email protected] and we'll schedule you to speak. If you have presented before, you are welcome to give a presentation on a new topic. This is a great chance for some of you guys and gals lingering in the back of the room to share some of the cool things you are working on. Don't be shy -- you're among fellow geeks. :)
As always, we'll have an ample supply of free pizza and soda for all attendees, so don't worry about eating dinner beforehand.
And we'll be heading to a nearby bar after the meeting, to unwind and socialize with fellow techies.
