We had a lot of fun presenting at the Boston Ruby Group last night.  We’d like to thank Tom Dyer and everyone else involved with organizing, setting up, providing space, and providing pizza.

Once again, the meeting was well attended: folks were standing along the walls and sitting on the floor.  This month’s program was more Rails-oriented than last month’s, but few people seemed to mind that.

Eric Mill from thoughtbot gave a talk on REST and ActiveResource.  The highlight was definitely Jester, a JavaScript REST implementation  developed at thoughtbot.  It’s modeled after ActiveResource and, boy howdy, does it look neat!

Jeremy Durham did a presentation on Memcache.  Jeremy has spoken at both of the meetings I’ve attended, and on both occasions he’s provided a lot of practical, meat-and-potatos info you can use.

You can find Aron’s presentation here, and mine here.

The group is always looking for speakers, so please volunteer!  If you’re in the Boston area and working with Ruby/Rails, it’s a great way to learn about the subject and to meet folks in the community.
