Join us for the first HDLUG, a group for discussing the dynamic languages available for the .NET platform. Ben Scheirman will be presenting Ruby on Rails for .NET developers, and pizza will be provided courtesy of Catapult Systems.

Abstract: This session will cover an intro to the Ruby language, and an introduction to the popular web framework, Ruby on Rails. We'll talk about how concepts relate to folks who understand .NET as well as dip into how to bridge that gap with IronRuby. This presentation will be heavily code-focused.
