Introduction to Ruby Workshop

Join us for an introductory dive into Ruby, a beginner-friendly language used on servers in backend web development (i.e., the stuff that goes on between entering a URL and getting a web page back). In this workshop, we will walk you through the basics of the Ruby language and how to use it to set up a basic web server.

Key Takeaways:
All the tools you need to get up, running and coding with Ruby
Ruby syntax for basic programming concepts like variables, loops, methods, strings, arrays and hashes

The basics of how the World Wide Web works under the hoodSetting up a simple web server and sending HTML pages to a browser

Preparation:

We will be working together on code, so please bring your own laptop (Mac, PC or Chromebook)

To use Ruby, you need to have the latest version of it and other software - see these detailed install instructions (https://gist.github.com/coder-sheep/bb7767e0597bec353fb4). If you have time to complete them before the workshop that will be great. If you don't, or if you run into difficulties, don't worry. We can also just use an online development platform.

My interest in crafting code started three years ago by attending a coding bootcamp. After living out east and working for a consultancy, I decided to trek out west and work for 8th Light and continue this pursuit of learning best practices, continual learning, and mastery of my craft. Ruby is my first, and still my favorite language to work with.

Everyone is welcome to attend our classes and events - we are women-inclusive, not women-exclusive. All attendees are expected to abide by the Girl Develop It Code of Conduct (http://www.girldevelopit.com/codeofconduct).
