Today the meetup with Copenhagen Ruby Brigade was held as announced on www.copenhagenrb.dk although the agenda was slightly altered when celebrities DHH and David A. Black announced their participation late last week.

• Pictures from RailsConf in London.
• Olle Jonsson: HTTP Verbs and Rails.
• DHH: Demonstration of the new paradigm for CRUD as laid out in ActiveResource.
• Pelle Braendgaard: Cryptography and digital signatures in Rails.
• Morten Christensen: JRuby.

Both DHH and Olle touched upon the subject of massaging GET and POST requests to mimic CRUD functionality. This was a major theme throughout the evening.

Olle took the path of talking about the Atom API, which I personally would like to see out of draft sooner than later, while DHH on the other hand solved many problems in a neat way by defining his own conventions for HTTP CRUD operations. I'm looking forward to see this in Rails 1.2.

Turbo writer Olle has better notes than myself on this.

Pelle presented his plugin EzCrypto for easy crypting of ActiveRecord objects.

Morten held a short presentation about JRuby. This was actually one of the thing I had looked forward to and i hope he will find time to go into more detail on the next meetup. It would be much easier selling Ruby to enter-pricey companies if they could run it off the JVM.
