\nMountain West Ruby Conference: Meta Notes
\n17 March 2007\n<\/p>\n
\nSetup. When I arrived, the conference organizers were setting up the auditorium
\nwith power extension cables, network cabling, etc. Having a wired network
\nconnection was very nice, although Wi-Fi was available.<\/p>\n
\nAttendance was better on Friday than on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\nLaptops. I’d estimate that nearly half of attendees had Apple laptops. Nearly
\nhalf of the presenters used Apple laptops, and of the remainder, half used
\nWindows and half used Linux.<\/p>\n
\nEditors. Of the presenters that edited code on-the-fly, one used emacs, one used Textmate and the rest used VIM. None used an IDE.<\/p>\n
\nJRuby or Ruby.NET. It seems like my app would become tied to the platform if I
\nuse the libraries from that platform. This would make it difficult to go from
\nJRuby to Ruby.NET, or visa-versa. Or difficult to move from JRuby or Ruby.NET to
\ntraditional Ruby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
