[Wellington-pm] [Fwd: Getting started with Ruby on Rails - a community based approach]

[Grant McLean]

Hi Mongers

If you're interested in Ruby on Rails, you might like to sign up for the
"Getting Started" session detailed below.  I've been along to a few
meeting of the WellRailed group and they have some smart people who live
and breath Rails so this is a great opportunity to learn the basics (and
eat pizza and maybe win a book).  Please forward the message to anyone
who may be interested.

Also, I'm sure no one has forgotten, but the October meeting of
Wellington Perl Mongers is tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.  See you there
from six.

Cheers
Grant

> community (WellRailed) is organising a seminar on Ruby on Rails for
> complete beginners. This doesn't mean that only beginners should come
> though. Everyone is welcome as you all have something to contribute,
> be it a simple question or an insightful answer. The seminar is
> jointly organised by Tomek Piatek, Tim Haines and Nahum  Wild.

> What: Getting started with Ruby on Rails - a community based approach
> When: 6:30pm, Tuesday, 31st October 2006
> Where: CreativeHQ, 25a Marion Street, Te Aro, Wellington (behind
> Resene Paint)
> Presented by: Nahum Wild
> Intended audience: Anyone interested in Ruby on Rails.
> Prerequisites: Interest in Ruby on Rails. Knowledge of programming in
> any language will be useful during the live demo.
> Refreshments: Hell pizza
> Cost: Free. It's a community event. It is our turn to give back.

> The format will be as follows:
>       * Arrive between 6:30 and 7pm.
>       * Start at 7pm: Welcome and introduction
>       * Quick overview of Ruby on Rails and its main underlying design
>         pattern: Model-View-Controller
>       * An end to end demonstration of how to build a simple blog
>         application in Rails.
>       * Q&A time.
> A traditional computer science refreshment consisting of pizza will be
> served during the Q&A session by our sponsors ProjectX Technology.
> Also, the kind folks at The Pragmatic Programmers publishing company
> have donated a copy of  "Agile Web Development with Rails" which will
> go into a draw on the night. In the spirit of honouring those who
> taught us and helping those who come after us anyone with more than a
> year of Rails development experience is not eligible for this prize as
> you won't need it. If you are an expert you won't miss out though as
> all WellRailed members are now eligible for a 30% discount off all
> O'Rielly books. Come to the seminar to find out how. 
> 
> This will be a popular event (how could it not be with all that
> pizza). Due to the limited size of the venue we can only accommodate
> 30 people. Please register today by sending an email to
> tomek.piatek at gmail.com. We will send a notification to the list to let
> you know how many places remain.
