In tonight's talk Murray Steele is going to tell you about fibers, a new feature in ruby 1.9 that provides
... >>an alternative to threads for doing concurrency. He'll cover some of the background behind what fibers are, the fibers api so you know how to use them and some examples of places where fibers are being used.
At the end of the talk, if you're interested he can talk a little about Ruby Manor as it's not a traditional conference and he'd love it if other rubyists picked up the idea and ran their own Ruby Manor style events.
