MindValley kids ambush Ruby on Rails meetup 3

Thanks Kamal for putting these up. And organizing these fabulous meetups! You're a legend in the Kuala Lumpur web2.0 scene.

OK so here it is.

A video of Talat, our chief mathematician, presenting "The Impact of Higher Mathematics on The World Wide Web".

Powerful nuggets in the above video (or at least for me)...

  • Mathematics is a tool to see beyond intuition.
  • People are hardwired to look for certainty, not probability.

And if you get to minute 12 onwards, it will get pretty hilarious. Talat takes us into the n th dimension. Or maybe it's just my sense of humor, I don't know. You can here me laughing in the background of the video.

And then there is me, telling the story... "How Ruby on Rails made my teenage WET dreams come true".

 

Apart from Talat and myself, former MindValley uber geek Aslak spoke. As well as and ex-Googler turned investor Colin Wong.

From what supposed to be a Ruby on Rails meet up... it has sorta blossomed into a full on web2.0 and innovation gathering, sponsored by MDeC. How many people turned up? 50!

Yeah it's not huge, but I'd like to think, it's the beginning of a very exciting journey :)
