Registration for May 16-17 Workshop is Open

[Janet Riley]

Hello, alumnae-

Registration is open for  the sequel to our January workshop.  We'll cover the Rails half of Ruby on Rails.

What will be covered?

• What happens when a browser requests a dynamic web page
• What is a web framework? Why would you want one?
• Dividing up code responsibilities with the Model, View, Controller architecture
• Saving data in a database with Rails' object-relational mapper
• Saving code snapshots with Git 
• Deploying a Rails application to the web with Heroku

At the end of the workshop you'll be able to define all of this jargon.

What will NOT be covered?

• HTML and CSS - the art of making a web site look good
• Programming basics. Our next Intro to Programming with Ruby workshop will be held in the fall.
• Intermediate Rails. This is a basic tutorial for those who have never made a dynamic website with Rails.

When and Where? 

Friday May 16 (7PM - 9PM) and Sat May 17th (9:30AM - 5PM) 

at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge, MA. 

Please join us if you took the January workshop or if you'd like a refresher from an earlier workshop.  We'd love to see you again.

Cheers-

Janet
