Wednesday''s Beer & Pizza SIG was attended by about a dozen Rubyists, plus one extremely well-dressed gentleman (no hacker he!) who was on the prowl for Rubyists to hire. Beer and Pizza (among other things) were consumed, Ruby (among other things) was discussed, and everyone appeared to have a good time. The upcoming SIG will, as announced previously, be held jus...

Hi After having updated some GEMS I get `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Cache (NameError) on starting the server of a freshly generated rails project.

Hello all, I am new to RoR and am working my way through Timothy Fisher''s Ruby On Rails Bible. I''m stuck on page 81.

...t only for Silicon Valley people? No. It''s got some regional Ruby community emphasis -- but Ruby Central was asked to get involved specifically to broaden the event base and help fulfill the planners'' goal of making the conference of interest and timeliness to Rubyists overall.

I feel like I'm not firing at all cylinders with the R language, despite reading over the R Language Definition. Has anyone seen something like an "R for Rubyists" guide (i.e. teaching the R language for those who are more familar with Ruby)? Alternately, a book with lots of examples about how the R language itself works would be fantastic. -David
