Workshop: Rails from scratch

Hello!

Our next meetup is scheduled for the 18th February, 7:15pm. We have a short workshop planned, which will be a very simple introduction to Rails aimed at beginner Rubyists. We'll be taking you through a typical Rails workflow and making an application for storing Gists (code snippets).

You'll need a laptop with Ruby installed (>= 1.9.3) if you'd like to code-along with the group. Some Ruby knowledge would be helpful, but it's not a requirement. The emphasis will be on helping beginners get started.

At the end of the workshop (which will last about an hour-and-a-half), you'll hopefully have a taste for Rails development. We will then retire to the pub to celebrate / commiserate.

The meeting will take place at Further's offices, on St Matthew's Road (off Riverside Road, near the train station)

Thank you to:

• Many thanks to Phil for organising the venue, and of course to Further (http://www.further.co.uk/) for providing the space
