Hitting the Rails
I'll be giving a talk about Ruby on Rails at the SADeveloper User Group on Wednesday 15th August 2007 at 18h30. We'll be covering what Rails is and then run through an application from "the napkin to the cloud". i.e. We'll be covering a full Rails application from design through to taking it live on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service. Hopefully in the process illustrating some of the productivity gains of putting your development on Rails. 
What is Rails? To borrow the definition from the official Ruby on Rails website - "Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration"
When: 15th August 2007 18:30 - 20:30
Venue: Torque IT, Rivonia (directions)
Topic: An introduction to Rails - Web development doesn't need to hurt :)
You can either RSVP by leaving a comment or on the thread over here. (I believe they'd prefer if the RSVPs go in the thread but if you're not a member just leave a comment on my blog)
