Time for another Vienna Ruby Meetup! 🎉

It's been three months since the last meetup. To make up for it, we got three wonderful talks covering a wide range of topics this time.

Thank you to Meister for hosting us!

Okay, very nice. Just had to force-reboot and Firefox restored everything, including text type into an input box.

Oh my... due to the different exchange rates, I get 10% less for US sales as compared to last year.

[Thomas Leitner @_gettalong]

@hschnedlitz Yes!

But did you know that you can even parse arbitrary strings? 😆

Example: https://t.co/jwUrwdSTdu (used for interleaving and handling file names and options).

[Thomas Leitner @_gettalong]

@viennarb Thanks for the great meetup! And thanks to @hschnedlitz for organizing it and doing the cool Ruby quiz!

For those interested in lightweight markup languages in general and kramdown in particular: https://t.co/qjZg31mhg7

It is not yet finished and not polished etc. but already in a good state.

This will be the basis for still more easily creating PDF documents with HexaPDF 😀
