08/20/2008 at 07:00 PMSimon Chiang will present on Tap—[not] a talk about replacing rake. He writes that Rake is an excellent build tool that we’ve tried to make into a more general command line panacea. Tap is a task framework in the spirit of rake, but offering:
- task inheritance, configurations, inputs, documentation, testing
- distribution of tasks as gems
- more
In this talk Simon will discuss tap, how it replaces rake, and how it does not.
We will begin our meeting in the usual socializing and end it with a visit to a local pub on Pearl Street. Sandwiched in between all this will be some refreshments. Hope to see you there.
