Starting to learn Ruby and Rails? This group is for Ruby, Rails, and programming beginners looking to get together and learn from each other.

In this group we'll make our way through the book "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages," by Bruce Tate. It's a quick deep-dive into seven very different languages: Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure and Haskell. I know almost nothing about these languages myself -- I'm a JavaScript guy with some very limited exposure to Ruby -- and do not expect to become an expert in any of them overnight, but I am excited to dive into paradigms I know nothi …

The New York Metro CodeIgniter user group. For newbies and power users! Come network, laugh and learn!

The tech scene in NYC is growing so big not even a body of water as wide as the Hudson can contain it. Since it has washed up on our shores--- it felt right to give it a name. Palisades tech breakfast gives a nod to the Palisade Cliffs just above the Hudson, from Tenafly to Weehawken. Though we'd welcome anyone with a 201 area code, really. Using the land of diners for our turf, and the skyline as our backdrop, lets grab some food (you have to pay for your own, sorry), grab a seat, and talk tec …

We'll give you 5 minutes to show off your tool, hack, library (did you just write a library to access the Meetup API in Go!?), whatever. We're language and software/hardware agnostic, so it's all fair game. After you present, it's an open f …
