From: Scott Garman Subject: [GNHLUG] NHRuby.org Meeting, Feb. 20, 2007: RJS Templates. Date: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 12:02:28 AM It's that time again - time for the second meeting of the NH Ruby/Rails User Group! WHEN: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 from 7-9 PM. WHERE: Portsmouth Public Library, MacLeod Board Room. Portsmouth, NH. For a map and driving directions, see: http://wiki.nhruby.org/index.php/Upcoming_meetings WHAT: RJS Templates - an exciting feature of Ruby on Rails that allows you to make changes to your web pages and make AJAX calls while still writing Ruby code. It's literally a Ruby-to-Javascript API, with hooks for Prototype actions and Script.aculo.us visual effects. You might use RJS Templates to do things such as: * Insert or replace data on your web page. * Dynamically show or hide objects on your web page with impressive visual effects. * Standardize your web application's interactive behavior across multiple pages. ...all without requiring page reloads. We'll be watching a PeepCode screencast on RJS templates, with a Q&A session afterward. There will be FREE STUFF to giveaway during this meeting! No one will walk away empty-handed. After the meeting, a few of us are likely to hit a local bar in Portsmouth. Anyone is welcome to join us!
