Thanks to everyone who came out last night. Even though Flinn’s live coding didn’t work out quite as expected, we had a good time, and learned a bit about Merb and rspec in the process. Thanks Flinn! Congrats to Rohit’s friend Robert, who won The Professional Ruby Collection CDs. As always, thanks to GeeZeo, Addison-Wesley, and Sun for a room, a raffle, and some pizza. Remember: next month’s meeting is two weeks early, on 12/15 instead of 12/29. We’ll be having a round-table on agile methods, so come prepared with questions and stories about pair programming, iterations, unit testing, minimal documentation, YAGNI, TDD, BDD, and the rest of it. See you in just three weeks… - Dan
