The first ruby hack night was a success, so lets have another.  Good idea?  It’s going to be August 13th 7pm @ Murky Coffee in Arlington.  We’re going to trying and make these a monthly gathering, second Wednesday of every month.

Here is the upcoming entry, a small website will soon follow!

As before, bring your personal project ideas, or open source project experience, and be willing to share with the rest of us what you are planning on hacking, and what others could do if they wish to join your efforts.  It’s a casual environment, anyone is welcome, so please join us August 13th at 7pm.

I hope to see you there!

I’ll be there eliciting Super Pat’s help.

Because it uses plain ruby files you have quite a few more options for manipulating your seed data as opposed to using fixtures. I have found that this lets me create seed data that is much less brittle than fixtures can be. You can find seed_fu on...
