\nPRESENTATIONS
\n
\n1.
"Ruby Persistence with CouchDB"\, Jesse Hallett
\n
\nThere are several libr
aries out there that provide high level interfaces between Ruby and CouchDB
. I will give an overview of some of them\, discuss the pros and cons of e
ach\, and show how these libraries make working with CouchDB easier. Along
the way I will talk about the particular types of problems that CouchDB is
good at solving.
\n
\nJesse Hallett has been designing web applications wi
th Ruby for nearly three years now. He has worked on administrative / reco
rd-keeping applications\, CMS and Ecommerce platforms\, and various other p
ieces of software. He spends as much time as possible with his fellow geek
s in organizations like the Portland Ruby Brigade and the Portland JavaScri
pt Admirers. Jesse has developed a strong interest in the evolving state-o
f-the-art of client-side JavaScript technology and next generation database
s. Jesse is currently developing JavaScript technology at Jive Software.
\n
\n2. "Testing iPhone apps with Ruby and Cucumber"\, Ian Dees
\n
\nThis tal
k begins with a survey of the landscape of iPhone UI testing. In particular
\, we’ll discuss the groundbreaking work done by Matt Gallagher in stimulat
ing and spidering the iPhone UI with an XPath test script. That will be a n
atural jumping-off point to explain why a full-fledged “GUI driver” for iPh
one apps has been long in coming. We’ll look at different ways to prod at a
pplication code\, and discuss the tradeoffs. Finally\, I’ll introduce a sim
ple library of Ruby glue code to connect Cucumber test scripts to the iPhon
e. The technique will be very basic\, but just powerful enough to test a si
mple iPhone app.
\n
\nIan Dees saw his first Timex Sinclair 1000 over 20 ye
ars ago\, and was instantly hooked. Since then\, he’s debugged embedded ass
embly code using an oscilloscope\, written desktop apps in C++\, and joyful
ly employed scripting languages to make testing less painful. Ian currently
writes GUI code for handheld instruments as a Software Engineer at Tektron
ix. Ian is the author of the book Scripted GUI Testing With Ruby .

SUMMARY:Portland Ruby Brigade: August meeting

DESCRIPTION:The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programme
rs in the Portland\, Oregon\, area. Join other developers for presentations
and discussions about Ruby and its uses.
\n
\nSome of tonight's presen
tations:
\n
\nIgal Koshevoy will give an overview of a few different data s
tores. He will focus mostly on MongoDB and Tokyo Tyrant\; but he will also
touch on CouchDB. Igal will discuss the pros and cons of these databases\,
features\, performance and how they stack up to relational databases.
\n
\n
Jesse Hallett will expand on CouchDB with an overview of some Ruby librarie
s that provide high-level interfaces to CouchDB and an open source ORM he's
building on top of it. These are the early days of non-relational database
s. So in my opinion this is a good time to think hard about what a high-lev
el interface should look like.
\n
\nThere will be a definite Ruby slant to
this meeting. But there should also be a lot of information covered that wi
ll be useful to people working with any language.
\n
\nMarkus Roberts will
tease and amaze us with a new Ruby mystery code sample.
\n
\n...and more!

\n
\n
\nLast December
\, many of the local software developer User Groups banded together and had
a party (instead of the regular meetings). It was known as the Winter Code
rs Social. In August\, we had a Summer Coder's Social as the outdoor and su
nny successor!
\n
\nNow\, we're having a second Winter Coders' Social. Good
and geeky times will be had by all. Come join us.
\n
\nBring yourself\, ga

\nFun:
\nWe'll be playing games\, like last year\, so bring 'em!
\n
\nThe
re will be a programming competition! Any language welcome\, no
\nparticula
r toolkits or api skills necessary. These'll be problems that
\njust requir
e thought. If enough of you are interested and bring a
\nlanguage that you'
re only vaguely familiar with\, we'll have a separate
\nleague for language
newbies. Prizes? Bragging rights! Plus a surprise
\nor two.
\n
\nHope to s
ee you there!
\n
\nP.S.: We will need a cleanup crew immediately following
the party\; if
\nyou don't have to split right away\, we'd appreciate your
help. :)
