Hey Guys,

Shane Vitarana and I just completed a PeepCode PDF on building Facebook
applications with Rails and the Facebooker Plugin.
https://peepcode.com/products/rails-on-facebook

Here is the blurb:
<http://shanesbrain.net/>

People are spending an increasing amount of time on social networks.
Facebook is arguably the most popular worldwide social network and offers a
simple API for offering your applications to tens of millions of users with
Facebook accounts.

This 67 page PDF will get you up and running with the Facebooker plugin.
You'll learn to install and configure the plugin. You'll send HTML,
Javascript, and images to Facebook (with caching). You'll learn about the
parts of Facebook that you can augment. Finally, you'll learn how to write
tests for your Facebook application.
I have four coupons for a free download available shoot me an email if you
are interested.

Enjoy,

Dave

Hey Everyone,

Been a bit delayed getting out the reminder but we are having a
meeting tomorrow, Wednesday August 20th at 7pm (directions below).
Simon Chiang will present on Tap?[not] a talk about replacing rake. He
writes that Rake is an excellent build tool that we've tried to make
into a more general command line panacea. Tap is a task framework in
the spirit of rake, but offering:

    * task inheritance, configurations, inputs, documentation, testing
    * distribution of tasks as gems
    * more

In this talk Simon will discuss tap, how it replaces rake, and how it does not.

We will begin our meeting in the usual socializing and end it with a
visit to a local pub on Pearl Street. Sandwiched in between all this
will be some refreshments. Hope to see you there.

Cheers,
Marty Haught
http://boulderruby.org


Directions:

Collective Intellect
1433 Pearl St, Suite 200
Boulder, CO 80302

The office is behind and above Starbucks on Pearl. The entrance is on
Pearl Street just east of Starbucks, behind the statue of the wolf.
Come straight through all the doors.

near future, and wanted to get some feedback on what folks are doing  
out there, what the market is like for Rails coders, etc.

Any thoughts, feedback, etc would be hugely appreciated!

Josh (et al):

Thanks for the reply.  I am thinking of driving out to the area the  
weekend after next to get a 'lay of the land' and perhaps meet some of  
the locals.   If I do come out, perhaps we can muster a beer-meet and  
get some of the Rubyists out for beers.  Of all of the things in the  
world we have in common, there is always beer.

I am considering the area between Boulder and Denver as a starting  
point in my search.  Anyone have any thoughts on that general vicinity??

Thanks,

- Kevin

Hi Kevin,

As Josh mentioned, we've got a pretty active community here in the
Boulder/Denver area.  We've got two Ruby-based groups here that meet
on different nights plus several more informal gatherings that you can
choose from.  The job market seems pretty good and there's a strong
network of freelancers here.  If you decide to come out for a visit,
see if you can line it up with one of our meetings (Boulder Ruby or
Derailed).  We'd love to share a drink of your choice when you're in
the area.  Good luck!

Cheers,
Marty Haught
