Sinatra, and your development environment

Thanks to Adrian, a friend who works at Microsoft ILDC, we were able to secure a venue for this month over there. Who knows, maybe a few MS people will be interested in showing up and learn something about Ruby! :)

Note: Agenda will be LOCKED one week prior to the event.

Sinatra Intro (50 min) by Gregory Mostizky (https://www.meetup.com/IsraelRubyUnderground/members/7893454/) What, why and when of Sinatra? Why not Rails? Hello world. (building a live app) Routes. Views. ActiveRecord? Testing. Overview of advanced stuff. BREAK • My development environment (50 min) by Reuven Lerner (https://www.meetup.com/IsraelRubyUnderground/members/438025)

I've been developing in Ruby for about six years now, and have assembled over time a number of tools that provide me with an environment optimized for rapid development. I'll demonstrate the tools that I use, starting with the GNU Emacs editor and several add-ins for it, the Rails console (and IRB) and a number of useful gems for it, my Git configuration, and the configuration I've set up for my Unix shell.
