We are pleased to have a guest speaker this month.

Robert Dempsey, CEO of the (Rails) web development shop Atlantic Dominion Solutions, organizer of Acts as Conference and creator of expens'd will be our guest speaker this month.

Robert Dempsey will provide you with a full introduction to agile development with scrum: what is it and how it works. If you are involved in the creation of software as a developer, project manager, an end user, or a customer, this meeting is for you. While Robert is particularly fond of Ruby and Rails, this topic will be more wide ranging and applicable across languages and frameworks. What do you need to bring? Just yourself, and perhaps a friend or two.

See you all there.
