El Dorado and ESOD

March 21, 2008

Our April 19, 2008 meeting will start off with El Dorado by Trevor Turk. El Dorado is a community web app written in Rails. Trevor will share stories from the trenches including lessons learned and why he chose Git over Subversion.

If you’re launching a Rails app, Yan Pritzker from CohesiveFT will tell you where to put it. Yan will give a brief overview of Elastic Server On-Demand (ESOD), a Rails-based web application that is used to create virtualized servers from a catalog of application components. A demo will be given of how to create a ready-to-go Rails stack and run your application on it without concern about remembering what you did to make the environment work.

Be sure to drop by Meetup.com and RSVP. See you in April!

We’ve discussed El Dorado in the ChicagoRuby.org Google Group.
