We are planning on doing some language comparisons this month at ChiPy: Does anyone care to do 15 minutes on Ruby. If so, let me know or just put your name up there. There will be some specific areas you will need to fill in on language features during your talk. Of course, all are welcome to attend. Thanks, Brian Ray From bray at sent.com Tue Jan 6 17:58:08 2009 From: bray at sent.com (Brian Ray) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 16:58:08 -0600 Subject: [Chirb] ANN ChiPy January Meeting Thursday the 8th at Roosevelt University Computer Message-ID: Chicago Python User Group ========================= Go ChiPy! The world's most successful user group strikes again! The agenda for this month's ChiPy meeting includes a presentation by Computer Software Consultant and Contractor, Allan Spale, on Python 3000 (Py3k) official release. This is the result of over three years of work by the Python Team and is the first ever intentionally backwards incompatible Python release. The rest of the meeting will consist of short timed verbal comparisons of other programming languages to Python by some of ChiPy most notable members. All presenters will be given a short list of questions about the language features they must answer during the talk. The best presentation will be voted on at the end of the meeting. Future meetings may be dedicated to any interesting topic's found during the first ChiPy meeting of 2009. Our host for the meeting is the Roosevelt University Computer Association (RUCA). Thanks in advance for kindly hosting this event full of colorful languages and people. This *will* be our best meeting yet. Topics ------ ?

A similar framework is RubyWaves, a Resource-Oriented Web framework that offers a cleaner and more modular routing architecture than Rails. At its simplest, it works just like Sinatra. Yet, it can be augmented with the MVC pattern and work more like Rails/Merb if need be. Also, supports RACK middleware just like Sinatra/Rails/Merb.

That is the lack of 'opinion-ation'. Rails is opinionated and I have been punished a few times because I needed to something different from what rails opinions demanded. It seems that Sinatra has few opinions about how things need to be done. That can be a good thing at times.

We used Sinatra for a very small production project about a year ago (where we're strangling legacy Perl with little Ruby apps). Sinatra solves different problems than Rails does, and so it's an important tool to have in the toolkit. I highly recommend taking a look. It's ridiculously simple. http://sinatra.github.com/ Dave Hoover //obtiva: Agility applied. Software delivered.

Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin is giving a talk on Feb 11th. The talk is about Agile development. Event page: http://www.chicagoalt.net/event/February2009Meeting-XPAfter10yearswhyarewestilltalkingaboutit Summary: XP: After 10 years, why are we still talking about it? It has been 10 years since Extreme Programming broke upon our industry. In that time we have seen the rise of the Agile movement, and the gold rush for Scrum certification. We have seen the concept of testing do a complete reversal in emphasis; and shift away from heavy planning. But what have we learned? Do we really all program in pairs? Do we really all write our tests first? Do Agile projects really fare better than others? Do we have enough data now to separate the truth from the myth? And why, after all this time, does it still dominate our conferences and conversations. Isn't there something new to talk about? Sorry if this announcement is considered inadequate for this list. Just let me know and it will be the last. ________________________________ Sergio Pereira sergio at sergiopereira.com From andy at obtiva.com Wed Jan 28 23:37:43 2009 From: andy at obtiva.com (Andy Maleh) Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:37:43 -0600 Subject: [Chirb] Save the Date Feb 20 - Martin Fowler at ThoughtWorks In-Reply-To: <6bdacb70901281900u7906c5a0pd679ca5bd497f7f@mail.gmail.com> References: <6bdacb70901281900u7906c5a0pd679ca5bd497f7f@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <620ca2c40901282037t6aae18fctf7b11c569b0d7509@mail.gmail.com> I registered too.
