Tentative Agenda:

• Ruby Quiz! We'll be holding our irregular "Ruby Quiz Competition". Come test your Ruby chops (or learn Ruby!) by solving a fun problem in friendly competition with other members. We team up Ruby novices with seasoned developers so everyone can participate and learn from each other. After the competition, we walk through the teams' efforts to learn what tricks of the trade were employed.
  

Hope to see everyone at the meeting!

We are looking forward to this week's meetup. As always, we'll create small teams (combining new Rubyists with seasoned hands as much as possible), and then have a friendly competition to try and solve the challenge.

To prepare for this "Quiz" here are your prerequisites and "hints" as to what to have ready before you arrive:

1) Access to Ruby 1.8.6 (will use this to test the solutions, access to 1.9.1 ok, but will be judged separately)

2) Sinatra 0.94 (http://www.sinatrarb....) installed. Be sure you can run the sample hello world app on that page!

3) A little thinking about compressing strings

4) Bring a memory stick if you have one
