[LRUG] [ANN] February meeting details - talks still needed

[Murray Steele]

Pleased to announce another 3 talks for the meeting.

* “Co-locate your template & javascript code with Phlex & AlpineJS for a
happy developer!” by Martin Tomov
* “Be More GARY: How to up your RSpec Game” by Scott Matthewman
* “Making games with ruby” by Paolo Fabbri

Something for everyone I hope you agree.  We hope to have one last talk to
confirm before next Monday (12th Feb), so it’s going to be a bumper night.

As ever, full details are on https://lrug.org/meetings/2024/february/ and
you can secure your place by registering at
