Meeting Thursday May 13th

Our next meeting is one week from today, Thursday, May 13th. 7 PM at CoLab Orlando, see this map for parking options. At this meeting Jacob Swanner and I will be running the Rails 3 workshop that the Envy Labs team will be presenting at Railsconf in June.

So if you’re ready to get your hands dirty and start using some of the beautiful code that Rails 3 has to offer, this is your opportunity. To prepare for the meeting you will need to follow the instructions below:

If you’re on OSX Please install RVM if you don’t have it already installed. Once you follow the directions there to get it up and running, install Ruby 1.9.2-head. i.e. “rvm install 1.9.2-head”

If you’re on Windows you may want to look at “Pik” to get Ruby 1.9.2 head running. However we have not tried to use Pik, so I’m not sure we’ll be much help if you need to troubleshoot. If you can’t get Pik running, you might be okay anyways.

If we have time afterwards I’ll show some of the video I recorded with Yehuda Katz & Carl Lerche talking about some of the intricacies of Rails 3.
