[GNHLUG] [Ruby SIG] November 2011 Meetup

2011-11-16 Thread Brian Turnbull
Join us at 7:00pm on Monday, 21 November 2011 at the NH-ICC for the
regular NHRuby meetup. This month, Brian Cardarella finishes our
series of learning Rails with a talk titled, “So You Want to be a
Rails Developer?”

Ruby and Rails is built on many open source technologies and has so
much domain knowledge that it can be overwhelming for anybody wanting
to start doing Rails development. Brian will show you HOW to learn
Rails. Learn the Rails stack, learn the terms that Rails developers
throw around and learn where to go and what resources exist to help
you become the Rails developer you want to be.

[GNHLUG] [NHRuby SIG] January Meetup: OmniAuth

2011-01-10 Thread Brian Turnbull
Join us at 7:00pm on Monday, 17 January 2011 at the NH-ICC as your
humble organizer, Brian Turnbull, takes the stage presenting an
Introduction to OmniAuth.

OmniAuth, created by Michael Bleigh of Intridea, is a Rack-based
authentication system for multi-provider external authentication. In
this talk, we’ll cover where OmniAuth fits in the “web” stack, how to
use it, what it does, and what it does not. Then we’ll take a dive
into creating an authentication strategy for integrating OmniAuth with
a custom authentication provider.

See http://www.meetup.com/nhruby/calendar/15900279/ for more
information about the meetup and for directions to the NH-ICC.

[GNHLUG] [Ruby SIG] November Meetup: (Geo)Spatial Programming

2010-11-10 Thread Brian Turnbull
Join us at 7pm on Monday, November 15th at the NH-ICC building for the regular 
monthly meetup of NHRuby. This month, we have New Hampshire’s newest resident 
rubyist, Peter Jackson, presenting “Introduction to (Geo)Spatial Programming”.

Location-based applications are everywhere, yet most modern Rubyists haven’t 
ventured far beyond superimposing a few locations on a Google Map. In this 
talk, the Rubyist will learn about the many spatial programming possibilities 
within the Ruby landscape, including non-location-based applications, 
geographic applications using custom imagery, answering difficult questions 
using spatial queries, Moving Beyond the Dot-On-The-Map, and how to get started 
with Geospatial Programming today.

About Peter Jackson

Peter Jackson is Managing Director at Intridea. He has been building and 
delivering web and mobile-based solutions since 1995. His technical passions 
include geospatial programming, the VoteFu Rails plug-in, anything to do with 
jQuery, and the fanatical removal of cruft. Find him on twitter at @peteonrails 
or read his blog: http://blog.peteonrails.com

[GNHLUG] Ruby SIG: August 2010 Meetup

2010-08-11 Thread Brian Turnbull
Join us on Monday, August 16th at 7:00pm for the next meeting of the New 
Hampshire Ruby Users Group.  This month we have Brian Cardarella talking about 
his client_side_validations gem:

The client_side_validations gem is an extract from a Democratic
National Committee project. It quickly and easily allows you to mimc
the validations in a given model on the client-side.

In addition, Brian Turnbull will be presenting his experience interfacing C 
with Ruby:

Ruby is great.  But sometimes you need the speed, control, or ubiquity
of plain old C.  In this talk, we'll examine interfacing Ruby with an
existing C API and also writing new Ruby modules and classes in C.

 New Location 

Mark Galvin of the NHICC is opening his doors to host this month's meeting.  
The NHICC is located on the campus of the Pease International Tradeport at 75 
Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH -- Directions from the NHICC site:

[GNHLUG] [Ruby SIG] July 2010 Meetup: Redis and Resque

2010-07-08 Thread Brian Turnbull
Join us at RMC Research (1000 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH) Monday, 19 July 
2010 at 7pm for the July edition of NHRuby. We meet and share projects and 
questions surrounding Ruby, Rails, and related technologies — all are welcome.

This month, we are thrilled to welcome Nick Plante back to the podium to talk 
about Redis and Resque! Nick is using both Redis and Resque in production to 
power portions of the backend of his UI test and verify service, Mogotest.

Redis is a fast key-value store, like Memcache but with more awesome. It 
features a (semi-)non-volatile data store and access to more sophisticated data 
structures like lists, sets, and ordered sets, all of which can be manipulated 
with a variety of powerful atomic operations. I’ll talk about how we’re using 
Redis in production at Mogotest, what it’s good for, what it’s not good for. 
I’ll also describe how we’re using Resque, a simple job queue system built on 
top of Redis, to handle a variety of asynchronous background tasks.

So join us Monday for an evening of code, conversation, and the company of your 
fellow Rubyists.  Directions and more information can be found at 
http://nhruby.org
