Good meetup and good presentation and great meeting other Rubyists in town. Centresource was a great host! It was great to have a projection system, snacks, drinks, and more peace than a coffee shop. At the meeting we went around and did introductions, spent some time asking questions about our projects and tools, and then Alex Sharp showed us Shoulda and Autotest and implemented a couple features using Test Driven Development.
