Last night was the first Silicon Valley Ruby on Rails meetup and I can tell you it was an impressive first meeting. Turnout was 50+ people (okay, 50 guys and two or three women), we had good presentations from
- Hasan Diwan discussing his Quicken-ish replacement Finance on Rails and also mentioned some plugins he found really useful such as undo_helper, validates_date_time, Cartographer and continuous_builder.
- Bill Katz explained his Authorization Plugin
- Seth Banks wowed the crowd with his Substruct open source e-commerce/content management engine
Much thanks to Zachary Taylor and Mark Smallcombe of InsiderPages.com for organizing and hosting the meetup, and for the delicious pizza.
