September Monthly meeting
Details
We'll start our meeting at 6pm with our beginner's track which is open to all but is targeted at newer programmers. Tom Hopkins will be discussing numbers and strings.
The food and beverages will arrive by 6:30pm where you can eat, drink and mingle with your fellow Rubyists for 45 minutes while the rest of the crowd arrives.
Around 7:15pm we'll have our first presentation by Brian Buchalter. He'll be talking about how to create a quick & dirty load test.
Do you know how many concurrent checkouts your ecommerce site can handle? Do you know when you'll need additional server capacity? Learn to load test your applications to get data-driven answers to these questions.
Our original 2nd presentation had to back out due to travel conflict. In its place Marty Haught will lead a short discussion on a process for self-improvement focused on newer programmers. Marty will go over a task-based checklist he uses in his apprenticeship program.
Additionally, I haven't brought this up but we have a google group for the group to discuss matters via email. You can check it out here if you aren't already subscribed:
