Following up on the heels of 757studio.org. We are going to host an event that will really give the newcomers to both Ruby and Rails a solid foundation in the language and framework. I'll cover the ruby object model and the entire Model/View/Controller (MVC) stack that rails has to offer. I suspect this will take the whole meeting and I would encourage a ton of stop and go questions throughout the process.

    Great question! Bring your brain and whatever you may like to take notes on. Typically on good meetings we go from slides and talk and talk. Slides and/or code are available after the fact when used. That said, if you prepare by setting up the development environment on your system and maybe have questions or need tips after the meeting, said equipment would be good to bring. Welcome aboard Henry!

    Is this hands-on? What should we bring?

    • “ On a day where many could have stayed home and played Call of Duty Modern Warfare, I was surprised to see so many show up be so enthusiastic on the subject material. Thanks to every regular member that showed up and especially to those new members for stepping outside their comfort zone to learn a bit more about Ruby. Cheers! ”

    • “ Good basic intro to ruby. Sadly, I had to leave before the pair programming and missed all its goodness. Looking forward to more! ”
