About The San Francisco Ruby Meetup Group

What's Ruby
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable.

What's Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is a full-stack, open-source web framework in Ruby for writing real-world applications with joy and less code than most frameworks spend doing XML sit-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this group to post a job listing?
A: Yes. Post your "Help Wanted" (or "Job Wanted") ad on the message board and it'll show up on the home page.

Q: Can I use the mailing list to post a job listing?
A: Use at your own risk. Not all of the members subscribe to the list, and your message is not indexed by search engines. But if you insist on posting a job listing to the mailing list, please prefix the subject line with [JOB]. And if you spam the list, folks will dizz you.

Q: An event is full but I really want to go. What do I do to get in?
A: Usually an event is full because we'll be holding it in a smaller space (if we're at CNET or Microsoft, that's not an issue). Email me and I may be able to squeeze you in.
