Brandon Keepers leading another Rails Session

January 13th, 2008

If you’re going to be in San Fransisco around Jan 29th, I’d recommend checking Brandon Keepers Rails Training Session. He’s an extremely talented developer, and an active contributer with a lot to offer based off of real world experience.

Hacking Nite

January 11th, 2008

So I’ve been itching for a Ruby Hacking Nite for a while. Elevator Up’s going to host a night at our offices on Tues the 22nd starting around 6ish, where we’ll supply some Pizza, Brew and Dew.

We’ll toss up a few ideas and then just choose something that seems interesting to work on. Don’t feel intimidated if you’re not pure awesomeness with the language. But I do suggest you know the basics.

A Few Ideas

  • I’ve had a hankering for an online play by twitter / email / etc Go game
  • A blog / twitter/ tumblr aggregator with links back to their originating sites.
  • A few people on the GR Ruby group had a few ideas dealing with RSS feeds

My Goals:

  • Chat with some interesting people while working on a few interesting problems.
  • Learn from other’s coding styles, and problem solving techniques.
  • Pass on a few things I’ve picked up while coding.
  • Lastly, perhaps we can finish a few projects that we all have on our laundry list of “Crap to Code up”
