Brian presents an introduction and overview of Ruby on Rails, a
walk through working code, and look at more advanced capabilities like
REST and web services. This meeting will cover using Ruby and Rails for
building simple system utilities as well as sophisticated, data-driven,
web sites.

    Ruby and Rails hit the cover of Linux Journal in July 2006. Ruby is
an elegant object oriented programming language and Rails is a
versatile web development framework written in Ruby. Add in Linux and a
database like MySQL and you have a highly productive development
environment. We'll discuss the major new developments since that Linux
Journal story, including a major Rails update early this year and a big
update to Ruby due later this year. For more information, parking and
