Sinatra & CSS Fundamentals Recap
March 20th, 2009
Thanks to everyone for coming out last night for the March meetup. It was great to see the usual suspects. And a few new faces, too!
As usual we had two topics to discuss. First, Ted Roche presented a review of CSS fundamentals, including an overview of the box model and element positioning—certainly something handy for those of us at all skill levels. You can find Ted’s slides at his website.
Afterwards, I took the stand to present the second topic of the night, speeding through a quick introduction to the Sinatra Ruby framework. We followed that up by live coding a simple user group prize chooser (source at GitHub).
A Quick Introduction to Sinatra (NH Ruby)
O’Reilly provided us with two books as meeting giveaways, which were rewarded using the livecoded Sinatra app :-). Thanks also to Tom Lee Jr and Andrew of Exeter-based DualStreet / Great Northern Products (a provider of Rails-based industrial e-commerce solutions) for providing refreshments. And of course to our host, Tim Golden and RMC Research, for providing the space and Webex goodness.
See you next month!
