The topic is "Developing Web Applications with Rails".
Rails is a new MVC web development framework for Ruby, and it has been getting all kinds of attention from various corners of the software-development universe:
* Some Pythonistas want to port Rails to Python. Rails is _that_ good. (http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/PythonOnRails)
* A .NETter wants to write a version for the .NET web platform (http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000267.html)
* Java guys learn about Rails and mourn for the years they've wasted writing J2EE apps. (http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=29716, http://sean.typepad.com/ditto/2004/10/rails_on_or_vs_.html, http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?anchor=rails_the_mvc_framework_for)
* PHP? Rails was written by a former PHP guy who wanted a cleaner way to do MVC (http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/DavidHeinemeierHansson)
Come learn why Rails has the Web buzzing! Bring a towel...I promise you'll be drooling.
Simple refreshments will be provided.
