November 2011 Meetup: So You Want to be a Rails Developer?
November 16, 2011
Join us at 7:00pm on Monday, 21 November 2011 at the NH-ICC for the regular NHRuby meetup. This month, Brian Cardarella finishes our series of learning Rails with a talk titled, “So You Want to be a Rails Developer?”
Ruby and Rails is built on many open source technologies and has so much domain knowledge that it can be overwhelming for anybody wanting to start doing Rails development. Brian will show you HOW to learn Rails. Learn the Rails stack, learn the terms that Rails developers throw around and learn where to go and what resources exist to help you become the Rails developer you want to be.
About Brian Cardarella
From Brian’s blog:
I’ve been developing Ruby on Rails applications for over 5 years.
I live in Boston and have worked for Rakuten USA, Zendesk, and The Democratic National Committee Software Development Lab.
Currently I’m freelancing, if you’d like to hire me please get in contact!
In my spare time I enjoy sailing, spending most of my summers in New England racing. I own a Laser (sail 177367) and have been known to frostbite it.
He’s also the organizer for Boston.rb, the author of client_side_validations, and all around nice guy!

Comments »June 2011 Meetup: Rails 3.1 For Newbs (Not n00bs)
June 18, 2011
Join us at 7:00pm on Monday, 20 June 2011 at the NH-ICC as James Daniels takes the stage to present Rails 3.1 from the outside in for those new to the framework.
Geared toward web developers of other frameworks who want to get started with Rails: we’ll walk through creation of a glorified hello world application using the upcoming version 3.1; which features the controversial “asset pipeline”. Expect plenty of discussion and perhaps some challenge to the hot topic as of late, “is Rails a hard framework to get started in?”
If you’ve been hesitating to take that initial step into your first Rails application, or are interested in the changes coming in 3.1, don’t miss James’ presentation!
