Talk by Brennan Dunn on state machines and how to apply them to your models (specifically with AASM and ActiveModel::StateMachine). Ken Collins will be giving a talk on bit fields in databases and the low level details of Xing's flag_shih_tzu plugin for ActiveRecord. If you are new to how to test/contribute to open source projects, this talk will cover the basics of that too.

Following up on the heels of 757studio.org. We are going to host an event that will really give the newcomers to both Ruby and Rails a solid foundation in the language and framework. I'll cover the ruby object model and the entire Model/View/Controller (MVC) stack that rails has to offer. I suspect this will take the whole meeting and I would encourage a ton of stop and go questions throughout the process.

We are going to talk about all things Memcached

From how to install it and use it, primarily from ruby's client library. I plan on talking about how it can be used from everything to an ActiveRecord pass thru cache, sessions store, and just raw good fun.

I'd like to get a gauge on the new comers and do talks about basic ruby/rails. Also, I have been moving my day job app to ruby 1.9 compatibility and would love to go over how to have 1.8 and 1.9 installed on your system and working well together.

These are a series of 13 (currently 7 available) free screen casts that aim to educate rails developer how to better scale their apps, disprove common myths that rails can not scale and generally educate those as to what rails is all about.
