Seaside/Squeak, Ruby (was: Jan 24th. NewTLUG meeting: Personal Information Managers - "Taming the TODO")

[Aaron Vegh]

Are you referring to this presentation?

http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov

This is THE demo that seems to have blown everyone away, and turned
Ruby from a curiosity into a Rails-driven monster. To be sure this
demo is a starting point, but the site has a lot more meat to it.

http://www.rubyonrails.com/docs

Give it more than 3 minutes and you'll see.

Cheers,
Aaron.
