March is here and it's time for our next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 19th, at Pivotal Labs (directions below). We’ll be starting off with a beginner’s track session at 6pm. This session will be an introduction to a Ruby style guide. Marty Haught will go through the Github Ruby Style Guide with the group discussing what it is and why you should care.
Food and drink will be generously provided by Pivotal Labs at 6:30 and we’ll have a break for networking and socializing. Shortly after 7pm, Tyler Knappe will give the first talk, an overview of Grape, a REST-like API micro-framework for Ruby. Following that Ben Orenstein, while visiting us from Boston, will run a live coding session. Ben believes that the best way for programmers to learn is to watch each other work. This talk leaves slides behind and focuses instead on the greater information density achieved through live coding. We’ll discuss the strengths and weaknesses of living code, and refactor it right before your eyes. As we do so, we’ll “coincidentally” bump into lots of meaty topics. Audience participation is strongly encouraged, as is stealing the speaker’s vim tricks for your own use. Should be a fun and lively meeting so I hope to see you all there. http://boulderruby.org/meetings/2013/01/29/march-2013/ Cheers, Marty @boulderruby http://boulderruby.org Directions: Pivotal Labs 1701 Pearl St Boulder, CO 80302 Use the 17th St entrance closer to the alley on the NE side of the intersection.
