Very excited for this month’s meeting! Your tour guide for the evening is Steve Sanderson (@stevesanderson) of Food on the Table.

We are going to have talks from developers at Food on the Table about moving from PHP to Rails and also several days in the life of Rails developers practicing lean startup principles. Founder of Food on the Table Manuel Rosso worked for many years at IMVU, the company which provided the ground for Eric Ries to develop/refine the principles of what it means to be a lean startup. Make sure to pick up a copy of Eric’s book The Lean Startup, which just came out, when you have a chance.

Exciting times in the Austin on Rails community! We’ve just come off of an another amazing year of the Lone Star Ruby Conference organized by Jim Freeze and a cadre of dedicated staff/volunteers. What a blessing it is for us here in Austin to have that conference continue to thrive.

This month, we are going to have talks from developers at Gowalla and Mass Relevance about common mistakes developers tend to make in Rails and how to run a high traffic Rails site with Varnish.
