Scottish Ruby User Group

About

The Scottish Ruby User Group is a collection of people who are linked with Scotland and have an interest in Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

We meet every month online and in person in Edinburgh for presentations from members and guests, and a chat about Ruby and related subjects.

All are welcome, and there are no subscriptions or costs involved.

Meetings are announced in advance on the mailing list, Meetup, and Google Group and follow our code of conduct.

You can also find us on:

Meeting up

We currently meet online on the second Thursday of the month at 18:00. Currently we’re experimenting with the most appropriate video conferencing solution. Links will be posted the day before if you’re signed up on Meetup.

Mailing List

You can browse and subscribe to the list using the ScotRUG Google Group information page. The list is for announcements of activities and general Ruby support and discussion; feel free to post any questions you may have.

IRC

We have a Freenode channel #scotrug, though it’s quite quiet. There’s also the Gitter channel around the ScotRUG github repository. It is also quiet.

Code of Conduct

To ensure we provide a welcoming and friendly environment for all, attendees, speakers, organisers, and volunteers at any ScotRUG meetup are required to conform to our code of conduct.

Organizers will enforce this code throughout the meetup and meetup-related social events.

Videos

Videos of previous presentations have been provided courtesy of Cultivate.

Make it easy for all users

Where and When?

Thursday 9th November 2023, 18:00 - 19:30

What

Every website should aim to make it easy for all users to find, consume or purchase what they are looking for, be that information, entertainment or products.

The aim of every web developer therefore should be to remove friction and make the users’ experience as pleasant as possible.

This is a user-centered talk about usability, accessibility, and information architecture. It will cover some solutions to common problems but its main objective is to provide food for thought and be a conversation starter.

Who

Carme Mias is a software engineer from Glasgow, currently working in the website team at FreeAgent.

She has been working in the tech industry for over 20 years and has a varied career spanning hardware, support, networks, web design and development.
