ChicagoRuby: Cache Money and TruckerZoom

Our July 18 meeting will be a bold step for ChicagoRuby. Our presenter, Wolfram Arnold, is a Rails developer and agile consultant located in San Francisco. We will set up a remote connection with Wolf so that he can present at our meeting. If you are “poor” with model-based caching, stop by our meeting to learn more about Cache Money, which “is a write-through and read-through caching library for ActiveRecord.”

During the second half of the meeting, Constantin Gavrilescu will give a presentation about his startup, TruckerZoom. Constantin will speak from experience to talk about some of the lessons learned. The topics will include multi-tenant applications, security with role-based authentication, access control using named scopes, working and staying motivated, and getting specifications from the client.

Wolfram Arnold, Ph.D. is a seasoned software professional with 17 years of experience, co-founder of 3 companies, and has been working on consumer web applications in Ruby-on-Rails since 2006.

Constantin Gavrilescu has been working professionally with Ruby on Rails for 2.5 years. He first heard about it in a Slashdot comment 3 years ago. When he's not programming in Ruby, he develops with C in Linux and does some Linux system administration.
