Ruby on Rails Oceania

Ruby meetup time again – this month we’re definitely going ahead! Usual time of 6:30 on second Tuesday of the month – the 10th of November. At 168 South Terrace, Adelaide (one down from the Sealink building).

(Adam Davies): I’d like to give a talk on either/both:

• 1 – CouchDB: document-oriented storage (think persistent saved JSON) accessible via HTTP/REST. Plus you can query in a funky map-reduce kind of way—a little mind bending for SQL/ORM guys, BUT it makes some things incredibly simple. I’ll demo using it for distributed logging to a central db.

• 2 – Ruby on the command line… using Ruby to write simple command-line scripts, and clever one-liners.

If anyone wants to give a lightning demo (5min) or present (15min), please head over here
