Tomorrow night, Tuesday the 19th, is our March meeting and it should be a lively one. We'll be starting off at 6pm with the optional Beginner's Track session lead by Marty Haught. We'll be going over the Github Ruby style guide with the group discussing what it is and why you should care. Look it over ahead of time here: https://github.com/styleguide/ruby The Beginner's Track is an optional part of the meeting intended for newer developers.
Food and drink will be generously provided by Pivotal Labs and we’ll have ample time for networking and socializing after the Beginner's Track before we kick off the presentations. 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 (@r00k), 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 (heckling?) is strongly encouraged, as is stealing the speaker’s vim tricks for your own use. Should be a fun time so I hope to see you all there. http://boulderruby.org/meetings/2013/01/29/march-2013/ Cheers, Marty Haught @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.
