[ALUG] What to do in November?

[zachariahn]

Hi Richard, i think i will be ready any time from next week. Well then i 
will do it like you've suggested, a little introduction to the Ruby 
language, Introduction to web frameworks & the Ruby on Rails (RoR) 
framework, we will create a simple blog app (as suggested) that will have 
user authentication (plus authorization if time allows), then, deploy the 
app online. I will post a link as to where Ruby can be downloaded from for 
both windows and mac. 

*Suggestion: *
I think it'd be nice if people are familiar with git, just a little 
knowledge of it at least and having PostgreSQL installed will be a bonus.
