The New Haven Rubyists monthly meeting is tonight.

==Location / Time==

6:30 → 9:00, Innovation Software Group [0],  
North Haven, CT

==Description==

We will start off with an open discussion on blocks/procs/lambdas  
focusing on Q&A for nubys.

Afterwards, we’ll be reviewing the code of David P.'s Sitemap  
project[1] and then splitting up into teams to write up a  
comprehensive test suite. Afterwards, we’ll refactor the software as a  
group, combining our code at the end of the night. This will provide  
opportunities to apply formal design patterns as well as discover  
common code smells that can be refactored to more idiomatic ruby.

We’ll be using the SVN on rubyforge[2], incase people are interested  
in the before and after.

We’ll also have the channel #new\_haven.rb setup on Freenode for those  
who want to drop in and say hello, and perhaps make some suggestions  
about the code.
