February 2008: Metromix on Rails
Metromix: From J2EE to Rails
Metromix was originally part of Tribune Interactive. The app has been completely re-designed with Ruby on Rails, and it is now being deployed to multiple cities across the USA.
At our Feb 16, 2008 meeting, Evan Petrie, Senior Developer of Metromix, will present the technology behind the app and discuss the challenges & rewards of bringing Ruby on Rails into a J2EE organization. Tim Wise (Director of Technology at Metromix) will also be on hand to answer questions.
