Monthly Presentation Night

Join us at our monthly gathering where we present topics of interest to Rubyists and aspiring programmers.

At 6:00pm, we hold our beginner's track, an interactive discussion where we dive into a topic geared towards newer programmers.

Around 6:30, the food arrives with time to enjoy a beverage and conversation with your peers.

At 7:15, we do announcements before getting to our presentations.
