San Jose Ruby Hackfest

http://ruby.meetup.com/117/ | Filed in

Come join an informal group of Ruby programmers hacking on our own code and group projects. Bring your own laptop and share in the benefits of learning from others.

Ruby is all about making programming more fun. This group is a great way to learn the latest tips and tricks, and meet fellow hackers.

A lot of other groups are geared towards presentations and big meetings. They are great for the "see" and "hear" components of learning. This group is all about coding within a small community. Getting together in small groups and learning from the person sitting next to you is a fantastic way to meet people and learn Ruby. Our meetings will always have the "do" component of learning covered. Everyone codes at every hackfest.

This group is open to everyone. Come out and help shape the future of this community.

Also, be sure to check out the Resources for Ruby Newbies page, here: http://ruby.meetup.com/117/pages/ResourcesforRuby_Newbies/
