Toronto Ruby / Rails madness

If you're in Toronto and been living under a rock you probably haven't realised that every month, there are a number of events specifically for Ruby/Rails developers. There's the ever popular and well attended Rails Pub Nite - great for networking and an excuse to have a pint or two. If this sounds like your thing join the other 40 odd that head out on the third Monday of the month at the Rhino. Pete Forde @ Unspace is the man on the scene for that one, kudos for keeping that for over a 2 years now (I think, don't quote me!!). The newish kid on the block the Rails Project Nite. Project nite consists of 3 presentations every time showcasing projects or rails specific learnings, usually showing nitty gritty code on some fantastic projects so quite enjoyable for us nerds! There's been some great presentations, so make sure if you've got any interest get down there, again solid numbers show up. Corina Newby has been putting this together, major props there for getting the new event up and running. If you have an interesting project that you would like to present, just contact her and volunteer your name, and breif summary. Make sure you RSVP on the Project nite, if not you could miss out Finally there's the Toronto Ruby users group, meeting on second sunday of every month at the Linux cafe - I will fess up that I haven't been to this one, weekends being usually DIY disaster time it's harder for me to make that one :) So if you can't find something in between those 3 that spark an interest in Ruby related development learnings, well then... there's no hope for you More details on the Ruby Users Group, Sunday May 11th - http://www.trug.ca/ More details this months Project Nite, Tuesday May 13th- http://correlations.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/tuesday-may-13th-ruby-on-rails-project-night/ More details on the Rails Pub Nite, Monday May 19th - http://www.unspace.ca/innovation/pubnite/ Finally, what mention of the Toronto Ruby/Rails scene wouldn't be complete without a Rubyfringe plug, haven't got tickets, get that sorted out ! - http://rubyfringe.com See ya at one of the above !
