MEETING INTRODUCTION

Ruby on Rails is a new website development framework designed for rapid development, ease of extensibility, and ease of ongoing maintenance. Ruby is the language used to build it. We will talk about both. Both have gained rapid popularity in the past few years. Ruby's popularity is roughly 70% that of Microsoft's C#, and gaining. It has likely already been ported to your favorite platform. Rails benefits from Ruby's special properties.

This presentation is designed for a technically-inclined audience and is appropriate for developers, administrators and IT managers.

The topics of discussion include:

* What is Ruby?

* Why do developers/admins/managers love it?

* Is Ruby more than just a prototyping language?

* What problems Ruby in uniquely suited to.

* Ruby on Rails

* Ruby in the corporate environment

We will show some real-world examples and hands-on demonstrations.
