We'll start off the meeting with Ruby 101. Chad Fowler will be leading the session titled, 'All about blocks'. Ruby 101 will be the short session that we'll be starting off our meeting with. Afterwards, we'll have a short break for networking and food. The main session with be on meta programming by Ara Howard. I'd suggest you be here by 7pm to catch that though we won't be starting promptly at 7. We will also be starting what I'm calling a Ruby Review into the meeting here and there. The concept is that you bring some Ruby code you've been working on and you pair up with another member to look it over. I know I have several classes that I'd love some others to look over. I'm not exactly sure how/when this will fit in but it's something to think about. You're welcome to bring your laptop. We have plenty of electrical outlets, table space and wireless access via the coffee shop downstairs. I look forward to seeing you all there. Don't be shy if you have any questions or comments.

We were quite packed in with around 40 folks showing up. I know I had a good time during both talks and I hope you did as well. Ara has included a link to his presentation as well as a url to the Metakoan quiz that he referenced at the end. So for those that weren't able to come, you can at least look over the slides. http://fortytwo.merseine.nu/metaprogramming/ (note, this link may be down from time to time) http://www.rubyquiz.com/quiz67.html Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, April 19th at the Mobius Building. Ara Howard will be running Ruby 101 starting just after 6pm. The main talk will be on Rake with Bruce Williams starting around 7:30pm. I will be sending out the official meeting announcement with all the details closer to the meeting. As always, if you have any suggestions on how to improve our meetings or would like to present a topic in the future, let me know. Cheers, Marty
