The BYU Ruby U. Group will be holding its February meeting on Wednesday the 8th at 7PM. We’re meeting in room 120 of the Talmage Math & Computer Building (TMCB) – see [http://map.byu.edu/Map.html](http://map.byu.edu/Map.html) for a map of campus if you need it. Eric H. is making a trip in from Seattle to talk about all kinds of deep Ruby things. He is a former presenter at RubyConf (RubyConf 2003 “Working in the Garden: Web Apps with Borges” and 2005 “Reimplementing Ruby”), and has his hands in a number of exciting Ruby (and Rails) projects: ZenTest, Ruby2C, ruby-growl, ParseTree, Borges, and the Rails Log Analyzer. He currently works for the Robot Co-op, helping build 43 Things. Eric was recently mentioned in Bruce Eckel’s blog ([Ruby, PHP and a Conference](http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=146091)). Bruce said that Eric has “done some very immersive work with the language. [He] live[s] and breathe[s] this stuff, which is exactly what I needed to get some actual insights into Ruby.” This should be an awesome meeting for those who want to get a better handle on Ruby, whether you’re a long time hacker, or just looking into the language. ----------------Special Thanks-------------------------- We’d like to thank Sleep Inn of Provo, who’ve graciously sponsored this meeting, and are providing accomodations for Eric on the night of the meeting. ## – thanks, -pate – thanks, -pate
