We will begin our meetings with a short introductory presentation on Ruby or Rails -- no experience necessary -- before getting into the more hardcore topics.

And, as always, we'll have an ample supply of free pizza for all attendees, so don't worry about eating dinner beforehand.

Here's the agenda:
* Doug Peterson will be giving an introduction to working with arrays, hashes and other Ruby enumerators
* Kyle Banker is coming down from NYC to talk about MongoDB and Rails. Kyle's company, 10gen, sponsors the open source MongoDB project, and provides commercial support for MongoDB.
* Camille Bell will be giving a presentation on Ruby refactorings

We always are looking for presenters, so if you have a topic or project on which you'd like to do a 15-minute presentation, please email me at joe at intridea.com and I'll add you to the list. If have presented before, you are welcome to give a presentation again. This is a great chance for some of you guys and gals lingering in the back of the room to share some of the cool things you are working on. Don't be shy -- you're among fellow geeks. :)

And, as always, we'll be heading around the corner to Post Pub, for a beer or two after the meeting, to unwind and socialize with fellow techies.
