Hi all.

Next week the [Ruby Underground meeting is actually taking place in Microsoft in Herzliya.](http://www.meetup.com/IsraelRubyUnderground/events/23644731/)

The [topics of the meeting](http://www.meetup.com/IsraelRubyUnderground/events/23644731/) 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**](http://www.meetup.com/IsraelRubyUnderground/members/7893454/)

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**](http://www.meetup.com/IsraelRubyUnderground/members/438025)

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
