Everything starts somewhere

August 11, 2008

I want to announce the start of EdmontonOnRails. EdmontonOnRails will be focused on increasing Rails usage in our .Net dominated city, and allowing Rails developers to build a better network amongst themselves.

So to to get things going we need to get a list of the Rails developers, hobbyists or anyone else that wants to learn it, that are currently living in Edmonton. Once we know what the counts are we will have a better idea where to take things. Below is a list of what we are hoping for.

• Rails Basics Learning Sessions

  Introduce the Rails framework to anyone that is either completely new to the framework, or something who is just getting started.

• Showcase Projects

  Give developers a chance to show off what they are working on or a project that has recently been released.

• Network with other Rails developers

  Allow people to meet others with similar tastes in development. With any luck maybe some startups can be created.

If you are interested in getting a small Edmonton Rails community started, email me, including where your current skill level is and any other info you feel is relevant ex. blog, current work.
