John Lam, the creator of RubyCLR, and one of the driving forces behind IronRuby is coming to Charlotte, and will be presenting to the
Enterprise Developers Guild on Thursday, November 1st. The meeting should kick off around 6pm, with an intro to Ruby and some demonstrations, followed by John arriving /presenting closer to 7pm.
I strongly urge folks with any interest to attend. John is a very smart guy, with a lot of knowledge about the CLR and Ruby, and his presentations are very engaging.
