The Talk

Xander Miller (Twitter | Blog) gave us an excellent talk on Testing Your Controllers with RSpec. He went through the RESTful controller actions (index, show, new, create, edit, update, destroy), and showed some tricks for handling each.

What's up next?

February 4th (that's a Wednesday this time) - Web Project Night

Web Project Night is this Wednesday (NOT the normal Tuesday) on February 4th, at 6:30pm.

It's open to anyone working on the web (Web Developers, We Designers, etc.), so please feel free to invite your friends!

Of course, it's totally beginner friendly. No judgements here, and we're happy to help if you have questions!

You can learn more and RSVP here.

February 24th - Ruby Tuesday

Next month, Georgiy Shibaev (Github) will be giving us a talk on using Graph Databases with Ruby. This will either be a Lightning Talk, or possibly a Full-Length Talk… not sure yet.

See the details and RSVP here.

Up for giving a talk?

We're looking for speakers for next month, as well as for March-July (and onward). If you have something you'd like to talk about, please do let us know via this short form.

Thanks again!

Thanks again for coming out! We hope to see you at the next Ruby Tuesday and Web Project Night!

Thanks,

The Ottawa Ruby Team
