[LRUG] Rocktober

[Alec Ross]

Great.  I'd love to hear more about Flex, and indeed other options for 
widget sets usable with Rails.

I've just been having a little play with wxRuby, but this is for desktop 
apps, so not relevant to my main needs - and I guess what I know would 
not be interesting enough to talk about at LRUG.

(PS.  I've found the Ruby Lounge near Waterloo.  ;))

Regards,

Alec
