Inaugural Meeting of NJRUG
It was wonderful attending last night’s inaugural meeting of New Jersey Ruby Users Group at Skaven. I would like to personally thank Skarven for providing the venue and food. I’m just happy that New Jersey is finally getting some Ruby love.
David Black presented what’s new in Ruby 1.9.1. Yes, that’s David Black of Ruby for Rails and upcoming Well Grounded Rubyist. He also answered my question of why I should buy his upcoming book even though I already have his old one. By the way, if you don’t have it, get it now – you can read my rant about it here.
I’m so happy that I got to meet other Rubyists as I’m surrounded by Ruby haters. It’s also a great platform to exchange ideas, learn from others, and get free training (think about the value of David’s presentation in terms of dollars).
I highly recommend that if you’re in NJ area, attend and participate in next meeting. I’ll see you there.
