From .NET to Ruby a Developers Journey

For April we will be holding a special joint meetup with the Milwaukee Alt.NET meetup group.

About The Talk

What happens when you take a developer that has primarily done .NET development for a decade, keep him up late at night and make him redevelop a solution in Ruby on Rails? You end up with a developer striving not to be developing in .NET anymore. We will discuss the main syntax differences as well as philosophical differences. We will discuss tools chains as well as techniques. And yes there will be code, some in C# and some in Ruby.
