Ruby Code Golf Night

This month we'll be doing a Ruby Code Golf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_golf)session.

"Code golf is a type of recreational computer programming competition in which participants strive to achieve the shortest possible code that implements a certain algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm)."

You'll need a laptop with ruby installed. At the start of the evening you'll be provided a spec file and a blank ruby class file.

At the end of the evening we'll collect all the files and run them against the spec and see who wrote the least characters to get the spec to pass.

Beginners and experts alike are welcome, you can even work together as teams.

Pizza and beer/soft drinks will be provided by Mystery Applicant (http://www.mysteryapplicant.com) who are hiring Ruby developers in Bath - the job ads aren't live yet but please speak to Simon Starr if you'd like some more details!
