The San Francisco Ruby Meetup Group

The San Francisco Ruby May Meetup

  • This location is shown only to members






The May 9th meeting will be at Adaptive Path, the folks who brought us the term AJAX*.

- Ryan Carver of Adaptive Path will talk about Measure Map (http://adaptivepath.c...) - a product implemented in RoR and just sold to Google.

- Josh Susser (http://blog.hasmanyth...) will talk about how to contribute to the Rails open source project.

- Someone commented at April's meeting that it would be great to have a free form Ruby-on-Rails code sample and discussion. Can 1 or 2 people take a lead on this? Nothing fancy, just a willingness to show your code, and share your development process, hints, and tricks. Email me.

  • 363 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94107; map is at http://adaptivepath.c...

    The Giants are playing the Cubs that night at 7:15 PM. Parking may be tough, so plan accordingly.

    According to a coworker, there's a parking garage on Brannan between 4th & 5th.

    I've brought my bicycle into the meeting space before - it's a giant warehouse-ish space above their office. The entrance is 10 meters to the right of the office entrance (I'll put signs up). If you're bringing your bicycle, take care to not scratch up the staircase walls.

      Presentations were very informative. MeasurMap didn't get into enough discussion of Ruby and Rails, perhaps for proprietary reasons. But the presentation was good nonetheless.

      Need a presentation for "newbies" and/or short "HowTo" at every meeting. Maybe one longer presentation, two short ones, or several "micropresentations" on very specific topics. I'm certain most attendees are newbes, or near-newbes, yet most of the discussion was geared towards the most experienced developers. Newbe presentations will even out the level more.

      Good talks to feature. Just the right level of technical detail.

      The May Meetup went exceptionally well. The talks were great, the space was great, the attendance was phenomenal (52!), and I had a great time knoshing with everyone afterwards at Shan's.

      Both presenters were fantastic! Ryan showed us how to implement with RoR and Josh showed us how to implement RoR - they were complementary sides of the same coin. They were both very well prepared and knew their stuff cold.

      Great work Bosco! There were some really interesting people there and the topics were solid as well. Really good chance to build a great community.

      i think it would be better to do announcements during the break, or in the beginning, rather than at the end.

      Good talks. With so many newbies there, a clinic/tutorial would have been greatly appreciated.
