The South East Michigan Ruby User Group is hosting a free two day Ruby
on Rails training course on Saturday March 11 and Saturday, March 25.

No previous Ruby experience is necessary; however, some previous
development experience is recommended.  Starting from nothing we will
cover the basics of the Ruby language and then create a web
calendaring application over the course of two days.  In the process
there will be plenty of examples and hands-on assistance to get you
started with Rails.

It is BYOL (bring your own laptop).  If you do not have a laptop, you
can still sign up, but please let us know so we can try to make
arrangements to accomodate you.
