Meetup: Pairing on Code Katas with Rspec
Details
Some best practices in the Ruby world are Test Driven Development (TDD), Pair programming, and practicing/honing your skills on Code Katas. We will be bringing all three of those together for this evening. We will do all this using the Ruby testing library Rspec (http://rspec.info/). There will be a brief introduction to Rspec, after which we will pair up and start working on one of the Katas from Coders Dojo (http://content.codersdojo.org/code-kata-catalogue/). If there is time we will switch pairs and work on another.
If you have time before hand, install Rspec (https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/docs/gettingstarted) before hand. It should be as simple as gem install rspec.
