December DCRUG - 12/4/08 - Mike Subelsky on SproutCore December 4, 2008

Synopsis: Mike will demonstrate the SproutCore framework for building web clients that talk to Rails applications in a true client-server fashion. SproutCore makes heavy use of Ruby, and provides an elegant, Rails-like way of constructing a web app that is radically different than current web 2.0 techniques.
