  * Building and selling a desktop Ruby application: a JotBot review

  Yes, you can write and sell cross-platform commercial desktop Ruby
  applications. The recently released JotBot is proof.

  David Koontz will give a review of what worked, what didn't, and 
lessons learned in bringing a Ruby desktop application to the market.


  * The state of Ruby in the Phoenix metro area

  Let's kick off 2009 by exchanging what we are doing now and want do in
  the new year. If you're part of a company doing Ruby development, come
  let everyone know how it's going and what you expect in the months ahead.

  If you're an independent Rubyist or just doing in your free time, share
  what you hope to accomplish in 2009.


  The Phoenix Ruby Users Group meets at 6:30pm on the second Monday of
  each month, barring holidays.
