Alicante Tech Meetup - Ruby on Rails Introduction
Tuesday 14 July 2015, 19:45 - 22:30
Camino del Faro 2, Alicante, España
@AlicanteTech - #AlicanteTech - Ruby on Rails Introduction
Recently I was talking to one of our members about doing a RoR (Ruby-on-Rails) presentation. Since I'd like to find ways to quickly develop websites that can work as a MVP (minimum viable product), I'm very much interested in this topic.
I've found a great location with the best view on the Playa San Juan and two international developers willing to do a presentation to introduce Ruby on Rails:
Yusuke Mito, a star programmer from Japan has come to Alicante to continue working for Cookpad, who are also hosting this event, and Eric-Paul Lecluse, a fellow Dutchman, who is about to move to the Alicante province with his family soon to be able to enjoy Spain while working remotely for international clients.
Topics:
Yusuke is going to introduce us to Ruby on Rails:
• short introduction of what is ruby and rails
• gem
• ruby library package
• bundler
• package management tool for gem
• rails to production:
• Install ruby and rails
• create rails project
• make a simple application with rails
• use some convenient library
• deploy to production
Yusuke has been working at Cookpad Inc for 5 years. Has 5 years experience in Ruby on Rails (frontend and RESTful APIs) and iOS app development.

Eric-Paul will introduce us into how the syntax of ruby allows the architecture of rails to work the way it does. He'll touch on modules and classes, procs and lambdas, hashes and keyword arguments, to "demystify" some of the magic of Rails. He will use some console commands (but no scaffolding), maybe open rails console, and generally work with RubyMine.
About Eric-Paul: Software engineer, consultant, clean coder, spare-time inventor, teacher, math tutor and founder of a little software production and educational company called ACDME.

Some technical background will be required since the presentations require basic programming skills. The presentations will be in English, but don't worry, if you think your English is not good enough to follow them, we are talking tech and there will be many Spanish speaking people.
