Hi!

I'm pleased to announce the January meeting for the Madison, WI Ruby on Rails group. Scott Fradkin will be presenting Monday, 1/22/07 on "Web Development Framework Comparisons" - comparing a demo app in Rails, Groovy/Grails, and J2EE with Hibernate and Spring.

Full details and directions are available below or at the schedule page on the wiki: http://www.madisonrails.com/wiki/pages/schedule.

*side note* we are also looking to do an informal code n' coffee in early January - check the wiki if you can make that.

Presentation Summary: "Web Development Framework Comparisons" compares and contrasts web development of a simple store application using three different frameworks and languages: Java/J2EE (using Hibernate and Spring), Ruby on Rails, and Groovy/Grails. Programming environment setup using Eclipse will be shown as well as live code examples of the application running in each of the environments.
