From trevorturk at yahoo.com Wed Aug 1 10:30:16 2007 From: trevorturk at yahoo.com (Trevor Turk) Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2007 09:30:16 -0500 Subject: [Chirb] August meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I'm pleased to report that I got my app - El Dorado - finished up enough (when is anything ever truly finished?) to launch last weekend. So far, things are looking pretty good. I successfully imported the existing database from the PunBB forum I had running, and I also grabbed all of the user-uploaded files, etc. The resulting database has around 35k rows, and it's been up and running without any major problems for 4 days now. The best part is that my "loyal user base" - of 10 people or so - has found little to complain about so far. Rejoice! You can check the live app out, and you can also checkout (as in 'svn co') the app if you're interested in playing around with it. Since I created this app to replace an existing site, you'll notice right away that there's some obvious stuff missing - in particular, there's no way to create new forums. I suppose I'll do that when somebody says to me "hey, Trevor, how do you make a new forum with this stupid thing?" But, until that day... In any case, I plan on talking more about this on Monday and showing off some uncool parts of the app in an effort to convince somebody to take pity on me and submit some patches. However, I have only a meager 12inch PowerBook G4 with no video-out stuff that I know of - so can somebody bring something such that I can hook that up to a projector? Otherwise, I could just use somebody else's computer. El Dorado: http://code.google.com/p/eldorado/source - the code NewAthens: http://newathens.org - the live site running on the code PunBB: http://punbb.org - the php forum app that the code is replacing Thanks, - Trevor On 7/6/07, Josh Cronemeyer wrote: > > > Hey all.

Hello all, Just wanted to let everyone know about another "Softies on Rails" class coming up quick in September. It's a 2-day seminar geared for those new to Rails and even web development in general (usually the people who come are former .NET, Java, or PHP devs). We focus on getting started with Rails and agile practices therein. When: Sept 21-22, 2007 Where: Hilton Garden Inn O'Hare Cost: $495 - includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks all day The class announcement is still available at www.softiesonrails.com; even more details can be found at www.essentialrails.com. Our last class sold out, so if you're interested at all, sign up soon. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. Jeff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since x is def'd, the line is tokenized to call the function and use all remaining tokens as arguments.

Anyone have questions they'd like to discuss or something they'd like to present? I'll start: I recently got to create a GWT view for a Rails app I worked on. I fed it with JSON from Rails. It served me well and was exactly what I was expecting and hoping from the claims the GWT team makes. I would enjoy demonstrating the process of integrating GWT and discussing its pros and cons. -- Ryan Platte -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
