[ORUG Announce] Meeting Next Week - Rails 3 Workshop

[Gregg Pollack]

Orugians,

    Our next meeting is one week from today, Thursday, May 13th. 7 PM at CoLab Orlando.  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: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/  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: http://github.com/vertiginous/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.

Hey guys,

Tomorrow is our meeting at CoLab at 7 PM, where we'll be going
through the hands on Rails 3 Ropes Course that Envy Labs will be
presenting at Railsconf. We probably won't get through the whole
thing (it takes about 3 hours), but that really depends on how quickly
everyone else gets through the code. I'm not sure I'd want to go past
9 PM.

To prepare for the meeting be sure to do the following:

1. Make sure you have Ruby 1.9.2-head or Ruby 1.8.7 installed on your
computer. See below for more info on that.

2. Download the following file http://blog.envylabs.com/Rails_3_Ropes_Course.zip.
I'm having you download it now just on the off chance that the CoLab
and Envy Labs wifi goes down.

3. Run "gem install rails --pre" to pre-download the gems you're going
to need.

4. If you want to be absolutely sure your box is ready to go, open the
readme, do the Prerequisites, and complete step 1. This will ensure
Rails 3 runs well on your computer.

5. If you need a parking pass you can grab one right here:

Lastly, feel free to give me a call at 407-754-5517 if you need to
get into the building after the doors lock.
