Description: Since ruby is such a dynamic language, how much can we tell about it statically? Can we get hints about parts of our design that need improving? We can, and reek is a great tool for this. Reek bills itself as the code smell detector for Ruby! We'll talk about its features, gotchas, future, and even its internals.

Add'l Talk: "Securing Your Rails Application" by  David Keener

Add'l Talk: "Fun with JRuby" by  Ammar Yousef

Speaker: Andrew Wagner is a software developer with over 5 years experience. He's been doing ruby and rails programming for Near Infinity for the past year and a half. He presented at Near Infinity's spring conference on the ruby object model, and just recently gave this talk on reek there. Andrew uses reek at work where they have the cleanest code in town!

Other Talks: There is room for another talk or two around Andrew's, so if you have something to say, just say so, and we will add you to the line up. Any length except long is fine.

Sponsor: This meetup is sponsored by Near Infinity Corp.
