Come out and enjoy a great night of hacking code with fellow rubyists! We are meeting at Area 15 @ 7:00pm.

We should have a representative outside. Send @cltrb a tweet if you can't find anyone.

Hope to see you there!

Aaron Bedra of Relevance came down and spoke about static code analysis and the benefits it can have on the quality of your codebase. He talks about the differences and benefits of RCov, Flog, Flay, Roodi, and Reek.

From the Meetup group page:

[Jim] started organizing the group about six months ago with a meeting at Amelie's Bakery. We've had a number of different Charlotte Rubyists come out to meetings since. I feel that the group is becoming quite a little success, and it's all thanks to members like you.

I'd like to have a casual, catch-up meeting to talk about what we're all doing with Ruby, and what the group could be doing to better benefit its members.

Sean Cribbs, lead developer of Radiant CMS and co-founder of Lowdown gave a great talk this month called Story-Driven Development with Cucumber. Sean gives a great tutorial on how Cucumber works as well as the benefits that go along with story-driven development. I've posted the talk as well as his slides here for anyone who wasn't able to make it or would like to see it again. Sorry for the dark video; It's hard keeping it dark enough for a projector while bright enough to film our speakers.

I have great news everyone! Engine Yard has agreed to sponsor Charlotte.rb.

So if you're around on Wednesdays, stop on in, learn something new, or show others what you got.
