Rails - Jul 2006 - Getting "really" started with Rails - Free Mini-Workshop - JULY 26 @ 6:30PM

First off, I want to send a huge thank you out to the UBC Electrical and
Computer Engineering department for giving us a home for the next VanRuby
_FREE_ mini-workshop!

VanRuby (www.vanruby.com), the Vancouver Ruby Association, is holding our
next meetup at the Kitsilano UBC campus on Wednesday, July 26th from 6:30pm
to 9pm.

The format for this event will be in a mini-workshop style. Lasting for
about 90 minutes with 30 minutes after for networking.

Attendees are highly encouraged to bring a laptop (either Windows or OSX)
with Rails 1.1.4 pre-installed along with Ruby 1.8.4. And either MySQL or
PostgreSQL installed.

This mini-workshop will be on Getting Started with Rails. From generating
your first app, understanding the directory structure, to using migrations,
customizing the routes, creating a few database tables, using the has_many
:through concept,  - depending on the level of experience everyone has with
Rails that comes.

Only the theory that is needed will be discussed. These VanRuby
mini-workshops are going to be geared towards rapid learning. Giving you
exactly what you need to get a solid foundation built, and let you
confidently build on top of it.
