Guest speaker - Dafydd Rees

Ruby on Rails is a framework for developing database-backed web applications. It marks a departure for the common approach taken by many commercial frameworks based on Java and .Net, and claims to offer a simpler, more sustainable and productive foundation for building web applications. This talk will introduce Ruby on Rails, mention how people are making money from it, illustrate the key concepts and discuss some innovative new developments in the web application space.
