Ruby Rookies unite!
Goal - Let's get back to the basics. During the month of March, our goal is to improve and polish our Ruby skills using Project Euler. We will tackle a batch of problems each week. Try these problems prior to class, leave the ones you couldn't solve, and come work in pairs/groups on solutions.
Toward the end of the session, we'll discuss the problems and share solutions.
Preparation -
Go to Project Euler site, and create an account. Then start learning!
3/7 - Problems 1 - 5
3/14 - Problems 6 - 10 meetup
3/21 - Problems 11 - 15 meetup
3/28 - Problems 16 - 20 and beyond meetup
When possible, we will try to have experienced developers on hand to help. If you would like to be a "mentor" or help as a more experienced Rubyist, you are encouraged to sign-up! :)

* If you've never coded before - stop-in and we'll help you get set-up. You'll want a good text editor (google "sublime" or "textmate" or "notepad++") and have Ruby installed on your machine.

Looking forward to next month.
P.S. Hugo and Fritz: I figured out the prime thing. It took 5 lines of code (not counting 'end's) and almost a minute to run. All of a sudden a bunch of things you'd said fell into place.
