The February Meetup will take place over lunch. Since the last meeting filled up every seat, we’re moving the location to Biztech (across from UAH on Sparkman Drive). Lunch will be provided for all attendees.

Joe Kutner will be presenting Ruleby:

Good programming depends on selecting the right tool for the job. In most cases imperative languages like Ruby are good solutions. But they are not perfect. This talk will cover some cases where the imperative paradigm fails and introduce Ruleby -- a tool that adds a declarative nature to existing programs. Ruleby is an open source rule engine written in the Ruby language. It is a system for executing a set of if-then statements known as production rules. These rules are matched to objects using a specially designed algorithm that improves performance and scalability.
