Hi!

I’m pleased to announce the January meeting for the Madison, WI Ruby  
on Rails group. Scott Fradkin will be presenting Monday, 1/22/07 on  
“Web D. Framework Comparisons” - comparing a demo app in  
Rails, Groovy/Grails, and J2EE with Hibernate and Spring.

Full details and directions are available below or at the schedule  
page on the wiki:  
[http://www.madisonrails.com/wiki/pages/schedule](http://www.madisonrails.com/wiki/pages/schedule).

_side note_ we are also looking to do an informal code n’ coffee in  
early January - check the wiki if you can make that.

Presentation Summary:  
“Web D. Framework Comparisons” compares and contrasts web  
development of a simple store application using three different  
frameworks and languages: Java/J2EE (using Hibernate and Spring), Ruby  
on Rails, and Groovy/Grails. Programming environment setup using  
Eclipse will be shown as well as live code examples of the application  
running in each of the environments.

Bio:  
Scott Fradkin is a Software Developer at QWANtify. He has 10 years of  
development experience ranging from C and C++ development to Java/J2EE  
development. He has worked on many large and small projects over the  
years as a developer, mentor, and designer. He is a firm believer that  
agile programming practices help build better, higher quality products.  
Scott is currently interested in learning about different programming
