December Meeting: Matt Overstreet & URIs
Posted by melriffe, Sun Dec 06 19:35:00 UTC 2009
As 2009 comes to a close, we have one of our own stepping up the plate to talk to us about URI’s and their lifecycle.
Abstract
“Rack::Route301, A rack module to manage old routes”
Moving an existing site from the old and busted to the new hotness involves a million little details. Removing that old table layout, scrubbing the data, selling or sneaking in a new feature or two, etc., etc., all the way down to the zoot. But when all is said and done, where did mysupersite.net/lolfrogz?color=blu&cuteness=-4 go?
URI lifetime matters.
We’ll talk about a few solutions, from .htaccess, to application controllers in RoR, to Rack. And finish with Rack::Route301, an very young Rack based solution that Matt will be releasing as an open source project.
Location
Tuckahoe Public Library, 1901 Starling Drive in Richmond.

Am I correct in assuming that December’s meeting is December 8 (2nd Tuesday) and this December 6 is only the date of the post?
What time also? Thanks.
