And we're back!! We'll be starting up our regular monthly Meetup again this Thursday, with some great talks lined up and of course time with your favorite Ruby community. You can RSVP for the Meetup here: https://www.meetup.com/sdruby/events/235992305/
FEATURED TALKS FOR FEBRUARY: Kevin English - "Garbage Collection in Ruby - A Beginners Guide" Overview of concepts in Garbage Collection and how it is implemented in Ruby including discussion of Incremental Garbage Collection and Generational Garbage Collection. This talk is not meant to be a deep technical talk but rather a way to familiarize people with the terms and outlines the algorithms. Chris McCann - "Phoenix: A Functional Web Framework" Inspired by the success of Ruby and Rails, Phoenix is a web framework built on top of Elixir, a beautiful, functional language built on top of Erlang by Jose Valim, a Rails core contributor. The next generation of web apps may very well be built on Phoenix. LIGHTNING TALKS: We still have a few slots open for lightning talks. Feel free to sign up here: http://bit.ly/1Nsq9g8 (Google Form).
