February 2010 Meeting Recap

February 16th, 2010

Thank you to all that came out for the first (by snow delay) meeting of NHRuby in 2010. We had good turnout for the meeting and a great time post-meeting closing the Portsmouth Brewing Company.

The the first half of the evening was a presentation by Brian Turnbull on Object Oriented Design in Ruby.

For the second half of the meeting, we split into groups based on experience and prior exposure to Ruby. One group took on the programming exercise based on the presentation to create a class representation of a sliding tile puzzle. The second group rose to the challenge of writing a solver for sliding tile puzzles. And finally, Brian Turnbull lead a group through the Ruby idioms and conventions in the sliding tile puzzle implementation used by the challenger coders.

Thank you again for a great NHRuby meeting. Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, 15 March 2010 with topics to be announced.

    Great meetup Brian! Thanks for putting that together. Had a lot of fun working on the puzzle solver problem. Exercises like this are great and I always end up learning something.
