Ruby Nights: The Auckland Ruby Group

This is a monthly group that explores the use of Ruby and Ruby On Rails. If you are interested in either of these topics, come along to our meetings! We generally have 2-3 speakers per event, occasionally a round table discussion about issues pertaining to Rails/Ruby/Web development.

  • Ruby Nights: The Auckland Ruby Group Monthly Meetup

    Wed, 14 Mar 2012, 05:30 - 07:30 in Auckland, New Zealand

    Ok things have limped along a bit this year but I would like to make some changes.  Next meeting we care going to discuss getting rid of bad management (me!) and getting a new organiser (could be you).   I've done an OK job of things until recently but I think the group needs to be managed by somebody who uses Ruby/Rails every day and really makes it part of their life.We need a talk for next meet up so I will try and get that lined up this week ... volunteer now!

  • Ruby Nights: This weeks meetup is rescheduled

    Wed, 16 Jun 2010, 06:30 - 08:30 in Auckland, New Zealand

    Thanks to Ram for last months JRuby presentation, that was a great summary (my apologies for messing up the meetup description). The next meetup will be a follow on from that as I show how you can use JRuby to run a top notch graph database called Neo4J via neo4jrb. Think 'links thousands sub second'!BUT ... I have to be at a conference this week and since I am the principal host and presenter of this months meetup ... I thought it would be best to postpone it to next week i.e.

  • Ruby Nights: The Auckland Ruby Group March Meetup

    Wed, 10 Mar 2010, 05:30 - 07:30 in Auckland, New Zealand

    Last months meetup was dismal affair with with a poor turn out ... but considering the time of year it's perfectly understandable. Marcus however is always keen to show off and he did an excellent, off the cuff, demo of Git and GitHub which made us enthusiastic about ditching SVN for good (now all Dan and I have to do is convince our Windows loving contractors to make the switch

  • Ruby Nights: The Auckland Ruby Group February Meetup

    Wed, 10 Feb 2010, 05:30 - 07:30 in Auckland, New Zealand

    Last Months month saw us hitting a round robin, from scratch, development, to demonstrate Rails to noobs and ourselves! Everyone took a turn at the console and nifty tricks were learnt by all. Then we kicked off a short but intense discussion and demonstration of Ruby as used to write servers and wrote up some on the fly demos of distributed processing applications/frameworks. I was amazed and so was everyone else ... 'That is so cool. I can make a million bucks with that thing!' - Ruitao

  • Ruby Nights: The Auckland Ruby Group January Meetup

    Wed, 13 Jan 2010, 05:30 - 07:30 in Auckland, New Zealand

    Last Months meetup was off the hook! Dan showed us how to provide single sign on security across different servers, Ruitao showed us some nifty performance reporting scripts (See his post) and I gave a quick run down on cloud computing options. This month is going to be a lot more free format with some casual demos on key functionality for Rails and Ruby newbies. If you are interested in Ruby/Rails and you'd like to be shown the ropes then come along.

  • Ruby Nights: The Auckland Ruby Group December Meetup

    Wed, 9 Dec 2009, 05:30 - 07:30 in Auckland, New Zealand

    Last months meetup was crazy! Omar gave us his run down on named scopes and then everyone swapped their named scope success stories. Some noobs were there and they were like 'Wow, that's awesome, I didn't know you could do that'. Rui Tao gave a great overview of his scraping site which turned out to be a Thinking Sphinx guide!

  • Ruby Nights: The Auckland Ruby Group November Meetup

    Wed, 11 Nov 2009, 05:30 - 07:30 in Auckland, New Zealand

    Last months meetup was a blast! Who knew Rails generators could do some much and in so many languages? For the October meetup, Ruitao has promised an overview of his highly popular 'price aggregation' that scrapes the [probably shouldn't mention retailer] site. But wait there's more ... I've also lined up a solid presentation from Omar Garcia a well respected computer scientist who's almost got a PHD!
