Next generation web development with Ruby on Rails

What is it about ?

More and more US startups and companies are choosing technologies such as Ruby on Rails and Django, leaving behind good old PHP and ASP.Net, that used to be the indisputable leaders of web development.

In this meetup we will learn about the world of Ruby on Rails, its pros and cons, and which purposes it serves best.

The plan:

• Cover the Rails ecosystem and the growing community in the world and in Israel,
• Learn how and why Rails works for small and large organizations,
• Take a live tour of the Ruby code and Rails framework via a sample project implementation.

Who is it for:

So if you are a PHP / ASP.Net developer, thriving for professional progress, an entrepreneur looking for a stable and scalable solution,

or a decision maker that needs to understand the current market trends.
