PuneRuby

In the continuing series, we just interviewed another Ruby guru - Phil Tomson. More to follow...

There is a lot to learn from experienced Ruby developers and in PuneRuby's continuing series of talking to such Ruby enthusiasts from around the world, Satish Talim today talks to Peat Bakke.

Pune Rails Hackathon is a no-frills geek meet where passionate Ruby/Rails programmers can get together and build some cool web services and applications on Ruby/Rails, creating the early prototypes. The idea is really to foster a gathering of like minded Ruby & Rails ethusiasts (whether you are an expert or just a starter, it should not matter) to come together and build something cool. Since this is the first hackathon of this sort in Pune (everyone from all over India is very much welcome), we will have mentors who will suggest a range of small footprint web applications or web services that can be built within the 2 day period. Suggestions and ideas for web services and applications will be added to this wiki over the next few days so you can choose what you might be interested in. Ofcourse, you can build whatever you like. The venue (Better Labs office) will be open all day and night so you can plan your work accordingly.

The PuneRuby meet is fixed for this Sunday, 16th July 2006 at 17.00 hrs. The venue, as usual, is SICSR, Model Colony, Pune. The speaker is:

Shashank Date - President of Reevik Inc, Kansas, USA. Has an overall experience of 19 years in IT. A known name in the Ruby world, one of the programmers of the Ruby's one-click installer, and is one of the early adopters of Rails.
