Scottish Ruby User Group

The Scottish Ruby User Group is a collection of people who are linked with Scotland and have an interest in Ruby and, invariably, Ruby on Rails. We meet every month for presentations from members and guests and a chat about Ruby and Ruby Related events. Everybody is welcome and there are no subscriptions/costs involved.

Meetings

We meet on the third Thursday of the month at 19:30 onwards, at The Edinburgh Training Centre, 16 St. Marys Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SU (Google map). The meeting room costs are covered by FreeAgent Central, who provide online Accounting Software for freelancers and small businesses (written in Rails).

Next Meeting

The meeting on Thursday 19th August is a follow-up from the last meeting, video here, in which Brian Swan talked on how the style of Test Driven Development may affect the final design of the code under test. This month's session will a 'recital' style coding Dojo in which a few of us will demonstrate solving the same problem using different styles.

Mailing List / Google Group

You can subscribe to the mailing list using the ScotRUG Google Group information page. The list is for announcements of ScotRUG activities and general support/discussion about Ruby (and Ruby on Rails!). Feel free to post any questions you have; we’re an open and friendly community. As of the last time I checked, the mailing list has around 75 members.

Video

Videos of previous presentations, provided courtesy of EdgeCase UK, are available here.

IRC group

We now also have an IRC channel available. It’s pretty quiet at the moment, but I’m sure we’ll pick up a number of idlers now that it’s been announced. You can find us on irc.freenode.net in #scotrug.
