The Lightning Round

Thursday 19th April 6:30pm at The Manchester Digital Laboratory (MadLab)

We have a couple of lightning talks this month, one about Spinach, a BDD framework in the spirit of Cucumber, by Matt House, and a talk about Goliath, an open source version of the non-blocking (asynchronous) Ruby web server framework powering PostRank (now part of Google Analytics) by Tom Clements.

Anyone is welcome to come join us, whether you are a Ruby pro, a complete noob, or, shock horror , you don’t program ruby!
