A Rosy Collection

This month, as usual, we have a variety of interesting bits and pieces to talk about. The line-up is as follows:

• Angus Scown will present JSON, the JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight data-interchange format often used in Ruby and Rails applications.
  
• Paul O'Keeffe will throw out a test driving challenge to the Rails team and all those who create tests using generators.
  
• Dr Nic Williams has come a long way from the days when he wondered why other developers were so attached to their Macs. He'll show us some RubyCocoa stuff that he's been playing with lately.
  
• Where time permits, we can discuss some of the new features appearing in Rails 2.0 and 2.1. Nigel Rausch is waiting in the wings with a talk about nested RESTful controllers in Rails 2.x. He may be able to give us a sneak preview.
  

Afterwards, we'll head down the road to Jackpot for a beer and a bite.
