New to Rails?
Ruby and Rails are both fantastic tools for producing better quality code: faster, cheaper, more readable and more maintainable. The community is growing and new technologies (like Maglev, IronRuby & JRuby and the upcoming features in Rails 3) are enriching the Ruby world every day. If you don't know about Ruby and Rails yet, now is the time to find out more.

A Rails Pro?
I'm sure you agree that 2009 has already been a great year for Rails. There have been lots of exciting news and developments in the last few weeks, the community is vibrant and enthusiastic and, with more eagerly anticipated updates on the way, there's never been a better time to get more involved or hone your techniques. Come along and find out more; or come along and tell us what you know.
Get Involved
We hope this will be also be a great opportunity to meet other Rails developers, IT professionals and enthusiasts, do a bit of networking, pitch your ideas and meet more members of the community.

WORKING OUTSIDE-IN WITH CUCUMBER

We'll look at working outside-in with Cucumber and the importance of focusing on customer value. Look at how Cucumber fits into the testing workflow, how it compliments Behaviour Driven Development and give practical examples/tips. more...
