Hi all.

Next week the Ruby Underground meeting is actually taking place in Microsoft in Herzliya.

The topics of the meeting will be about Sinatra, and a glimpse of one developer's development environment and what tools they use on a daily basis.

It is totally free to join, and if you're interested in Ruby at all, this is a warm and welcoming group of people who'd love to help you learn!

Sessions:

 

• Sinatra Intro (50 min) by Gregory Mostizky

1. What, why and when of Sinatra? Why not Rails?
2. Hello world. (building a live app)
3. Routes. Views. ActiveRecord?
4. Testing.
5. Overview of advanced stuff.

• BREAK

• My development environment (50 min) by Reuven Lerner

I've been developing in Ruby for about six years now, and have assembled over time a number of tools that provide me with an environment optimized for rapid development.  I'll demonstrate the tools that I use, starting with the GNU Emacs editor and several add-ins for it, the Rails console (and IRB) and a number of useful gems for it, my Git configuration, and the configuration I've set up for my Unix shell.

see you there,

Roy
