About

The Scottish Ruby User Group is a collection of people who are linked with Scotland and have an interest in Ruby and, invariably, Ruby on Rails. We meet every month for presentations from members and guests and a chat about Ruby and Ruby Related events. Everybody is welcome and there are no subscriptions/costs involved.

Meetings

We meet on the third Thursday of the month at 19:30 onwards, at the FreeAgent Central offices: 40 Torphichen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8JB, near Haymarket Station.

Mailing List / Google Group

You can subscribe to the mailing list using the ScotRUG Google Group information page. The list is for announcements of ScotRUG activities and general support/discussion about Ruby (and Ruby on Rails!). Feel free to post any questions you have; we’re an open and friendly community. As of the last time I checked, the mailing list has around 75 members.

Video

Videos of previous presentations, provided courtesy of EdgeCase UK, are available here.

IRC group

We now also have an IRC channel available. It’s pretty quiet at the moment, but I’m sure we’ll pick up a number of idlers now that it’s been announced. You can find us on irc.freenode.net in #scotrug.

Sponsors

Free Agent Central pick up the bill for our meetings.

EdgeCase UK sponsor the meeting videos.

January ScotRUG Edinburgh - 19 January 2012

posted 11 Jan 2012

Thanks to strategic powercuts and other ridiculous problems, the December ScotRUG did not quite go to plan. But next week we will be back on form. We have 3 (3!!!) talks lined up, plus free (as in beer) beer from FreeAgent. Yay!

  • Ryan Stenhouse will be talking about cultural differences when programming people-facing applications
  • Sam Elliott will be taking us on a magical mystery tour of the more obscure (read exciting) corners of Ruby’s core classes and Standard Lib.
  • Paul Wilson will be giving a quick demo of Mountable Apps in Rails 3.1.x.

You may also sign up on Lanyrd here.
