MerbCamp: Streaming Video Now Available On-Demand
San Diego, October 26, 2008 -- Calit2 at UC San Diego recently hosted the first-ever MerbCamp -- a grass-roots gathering of software developers who are using the new Merb web application framework. Merb, like Ruby on Rails, is based on the Ruby language, and is intended for more advanced web applications. The two-day MerbCamp combined keynote talks from the creators of Merb with group coding sessions and impromptu talks by attendees. The sessions were webcast live from Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus, and they are now available for on-demand viewing. [Windows Media player and broadband connection required; for any trouble viewing the videos, click here for troubleshooting instructions .] For a primer on Merb and what it's all about, read the web article by Tiffany Fox.
