The December meeting will be at the Harvard law library, Langdell South classroom, on Tuesday Dec 4th from 7-9pm. This meeting is sponsored by EngineYard.

Directions

We have two presentations for this meeting:

Gregg Pollack – (aka, Rails guy in the Rails vs * videos) “Demystifying REST”
Over the last two years an increasing number of large websites have adopted a RESTful Web Service API. We’re going to take a closer look at what REST really means, why it’s becoming more popular, and finally look at how Rails has become RESTful.
Gregory Brown – (Creator of Ruport Ruby Reports)
Will talk about resuming an open source project. Gregory says, “much of it will be relevant to people taking over internal projects in their commercial work as well. Things like how to find your way around an unknown codebase, how to layer in testing, etc.”

Also, some of us will be hanging out after the meeting at John Harvards, 33 Dunster St. Harvard Square.

Eric Richmond and Brian Delacey for producing the videos
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School for providing the meeting room.
