On a Wednesday instead this week, just for kicks, but once again at the “Olde Bank of England”:http://www.pubs.com/pub_details.cfm?ID=214 from 7pm. No agenda as yet, but I want demos! Leave a comment if you’ll be coming so I can get an idea of numbers.
Though the magic of Google Calendar (I’m so Web 20 it _hurts_) I [...]

Thanks to everyone who attended London 2.0 RC 4 last night (in rather cramped conditions). The “usual(Simon Willison’s weblog)”:http://simon.incutio.com/ “suspects”:http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ were in attendance, as well as Adrian Holovaty who was in for a few days.
“Phil Dawes”:http://www.phildawes.net/blog/ demonstrated both “Bicycle Repair Man(Bicycle Repair Man – Python Refactoring Tool)”:http://bicyclerepair.sourceforge.net/ and the Python testing tool “Protest”:http://www.phildawes.net/blog/2006/03/17/protest-rocks-generate-documentation-from-tests/ (we need [...]

Yes, I know what you’re thinking – “So soon after the announcement of the “March meeting(magpiebrain – London RC3 March Meetup)”:http://www.magpiebrain.com/archives/2006/02/25/london20_rc3? Has Sam started getting organised?”. Well, kind of – actually I heard from Harry Pot “Simon W(Simon Willison’s Weblog)”:http://simon.incutio.com/ that one of the Django devs, “Adrian Holovaty(Adrian Holovaty’s Weblog)”:http://www.holovaty.com/, was going to be in [...]

Another Django/Rails/Catalyst/Java/web2.0 love in to be held at “The Old Bank of England”:http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/66/660/ onFleet Street. Web 2.0 advocates and detractors are welcome, as are any enthusiasts of Lisp, Python, Ruby, Java, Haskell or whatever other dirty commie language you lot use.
Once again I’ll be (badly) organising this with the aid of Simon Brunning, his “jury [...]

As I assume many of you (including myself) will be attending the “The Future of Web Apps”:http://carsonworkshops.com/summit/, I’m not going to run a specific Web 2.0 RCX meeting this month. To be honest I can only stand to hang around you new-media over-enthusiastic hand-wavers once a month (you know “who you are”:http://simon.incutio.com/!), and what with [...]
Just a quick note after a long absence (no doubt a flood of posts will now follow, preceding another too long gap). Anyway, “London 2.0rc2(London 2.0rc1 on Upcoming.org)”:http://upcoming.org/event/47958/ is on for this Tuesday. Once again it’ll be combining the Python meetup, and will be open to all Ruby, Django, Rails, Python, RSS, Catalyst, web.py, TurboGears, [...]
*We need a snappier name…
As the calendar gets a little crowded in December, myself, Simon and Jez have decided to combine the Java, Django/Rails and Python nights together in one big bash at the Old Bank Of England, on the 12th of December, from 7pm onwards. As normal there is no particular agenda, although people [...]
At the last meetup, the majority of the people there were ‘thinking’ about using either Rails or Django on a real world project. So by way of some blatant agenda setting for the meetup on the 10th (don’t forget to go and leave a comment if you’re coming) what is stopping you from using either?
Is [...]
Since lambasting someone for a less than fair Django and Rails comparison, I’d planned to do my own. To start with, my comparison is based on several days worth of Rails development and about a weekend’s worth of playing with Django, using the (currently four part) tutorial.
Ive had this reviewed by both Rails and Django [...]
I’m taking a break from my recent series of articles on Ruby (see Parts one, two and three of Ruby for Java (and C#) programmers) to revisit the subject of mocking in Ruby. My recent overview of the currently available mocking tools lead me to discuss a better syntax for the next mocking API.
One of [...]
