ChicagoRuby Online: Typing to Catch Bugs

Welcome to another edition of ChicagoRuby Downtown! This month we welcome Jack Thorne back to the ruby stage.

ChicagoRuby Online: Typing to Catch Bugs

SUMMARY:

AGENDA:

6:15 to 7:45 - Presentation
after - Post meetup mingling @ Elephant & Castle

SPEAKER:

Jack is a senior software engineer at Braintree on the disputes team. He has worked with Ruby for a decade and enjoys working on code quality and performance. He has been using and participating in the Crystal Community for half a decade. He runs Chicago Crystal and sometimes works with Chicago Ruby.

CODE OF CONDUCT:

ChicagoRuby is dedicated to providing a harassment-free space for everyone, regardless, including but not limited to, ancestry, race, age, gender, religion, marital status, national origin, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected class.

We do not tolerate harassment in any form.

Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, veteran status, citizenship status, or any other protected class.

Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create an environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

Anyone who is found to be in violation of these terms will be asked to leave the meetup and will be disallowed from participating in future ChicagoRuby activities.

Please respect our hosts, speakers, and other members of the group at all times.
