Our February meeting will be held on Tuesday February 19th, 2008 at 6pm at Justin Brands.

Jake Good will be presenting: A Play-date with Rails and .NET

A Play-date with Rails and .NET
The new kid on the block of web platforms is Ruby on Rails. We've heard about it, dabbled in it, and might have considered using it in some our solutions… but one of the hesitations comes from integration. How will it work with existing data? How will it work with existing .NET applications and libraries? The answers are out there … and this discussion will lead you to examples on how you can do integration (both ways) between Ruby on Rails and .Net. You'll see how you can easily invoke / publish web services, databases, and libraries between the two. Come check out what all the hype is about and expand your toolbox to help provide better solutions to your problems.

Speaker Bio
Jake is a senior consultant for Inetium that has been consulting / developing software in the Twin Cities for nearly 4 years. Just recently relocated to Fort Worth, TX. My development experience has been primarily focused on smart client development and mobile development and social networking. I've been working on a large social networking site (www.yfly.com) that has reached over 200,000 users and the recently popular www.drop.io. My interests for software development include: bioinformatics, genetics, .Net (C#), Ruby on Rails, Erlang, and mostly scientific stuff, but I dabble in just about everything!
