http://www.austinonrails.org/articles/2007/06/05/meeting-tuesday-june-12th-7pm en-us 40 Austin's own Ruby on Rails User Group Greetings Austin Railers! <p/><p/> For June, we will have a RailsConf recap from those of you who attended the 2nd Annual Rails Conference in Portland. Fun times! <p/> We will also have a presentation from Mike Perham on <a href="http://activescaffold.com/">ActiveScaffold</a>, a Rails plugin for generating AJAXy CRUD. <p/> Writing a web-based data entry UI for a complex application is never fun and quite often tedious. One key attribute for a good user interface is consistency but it still takes a knowledgeable and diligent development team to create the web pages which follow through on that design. ActiveScaffold is a plugin for Ruby on Rails (aka Rails) which provides dynamic model-based view generation. Instead of having to create pages by hand which display your models, ActiveScaffold will introspect your ActiveRecord models and dynamically generate a CRUD (create, read, update, delete) user interface for managing those objects. <p/> Mike Perham is a Senior Software Engineer at IBM working on the WebSphere Business Services Fabric. He's a member of the Apache project and has been developing open source software since 1995. He loves racing motorcycles and learning new technologies, especially anything that makes building web-based applications easier. <p/> As per usual, we will meet in the lovely space at Frog Design on 8th and Congress. Thanks Frog!
