August 09 Nashville Ruby Meetup

21 August 2009

The presentation was on Pivotal Tracker; a free web-based, index-card development tool for programmers.  One of the key principles of eXtreme Programming and Agile Development is turning a projects 'specs' into user-stories and implementing each feature of a program one-at-a-time using these user-stories written on cards.  Pivotal Tracker recreates the beauty of the index card system in a web application. We also had half an hour of chatting, questions, hearing about what people are working on.  I got some good help on some things to try with a particular bug I'm having using the Paperclip plugin and getting the right MIME type. What is real encouraging is that the group is starting form some deeper relationships now that we've been consistently meeting for the 4th time since rebooting the group. Thanks to Engine Yard, a sponsor, who also sent free t-shirts to the group. Thanks to Centresource, a Nashville web development firm has been a great host, and a source of several group members.
