Have you heard of the Ruby programming language, or Ruby on Rails, the web development framework? Whether you create software or websites for a living, are a graphic designer, student, or are just looking to learn more about computer programming, these tools are both well worth taking a look at.
We're starting an informal Ruby users' group in State College, PA (next to Penn State University). There will be regular presentations and discussions organized, as well as some time to be able to just hang out, talk, and learn more about what everyone has been doing with Ruby. Our first meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday August 15th, 2007.
We also created a group on ruby.meetup.com which is worth checking out for all the details. You can create an account there, RSVP for the next meeting, see who else is attending.
We've been working with Ruby and Rails for a while now, and we've always been pretty psyched about the language and environment. It'd be cool to find other people in the area who have an interest in it too, no matter what level of familiarity you have with Ruby or even programming in general.
If you're interested in hearing about what we'll be doing, and when things are happening, fill in your information below, or sign up on ruby.meetup.com. You can unsubscribe anytime, and we will never spam you. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to drop me a line any time.
