Santa Cruz Ruby on Rails August Meetup

As per our new usual, the meetup will start with a specific demonstration from some aspect of web development with Ruby on Rails. I haven't yet decided on a topic, so please do contact me with your requests if you have them.

After the demo, we'll review our progress from the hack session focused on our online poker Ruby on Rails application and, with more of the skeleton created, will come up with some next actions for people to get involved with.

Note: I hope to hold this meetup downtown at a spiffy new venue, but am beholden to mysterious powers beyond. For now, let's assume our usual spot (E2-280 at UCSC).

Detailed Directions and Parking

This customized Google map contains markers for the meetup room and parking locations.

The Engineering 2 Building is located in the northwest corner of UCSC, on "Science Hill." Room 280 is on the far east side of the building near the street-level entrance. Meetup signs will be posted on the building entrance door and the meetup room itself. If the main entrance is locked, "knock" (we'll be steps away and be listening).

From the UCSC Main Entrance: Proceed up Coolidge Drive (which Bay Street turns into) following the main road onto McLaughlin Drive. As McLaughlin Drive ends, turn left onto Heller Drive, then left again into the multi-level parking garage called Core West Parking Structure (the closest parking to Baskin Engineering).

Parking permits at Core West cost $2.00 after 5pm, and there are pay-stations that accept cash and credit card located inside the parking structure. Alternatively, you could park in the North Perimeter lot, which is free after 5pm but is a short hike from Engineering 2.
