[LRUG] It begins!

[Murray Steele]

As mentioned on the other thread, and at the meeting last night, there's
quite a bit of support for a beginners session for Ruby or Rails (or both).
I think a beginners session would be quite nice for next months meeting
(14th May) to give a little back to everyone confused by the fairly complex
discussions we've had at the last couple of meetings.

What would people be interested in covering in a beginners session?
Obviously a beginner session could cover all manner of stuff, but maybe a
more focused session, covering a couple of topics in detail would be more
useful.  We could even split the group into 3 or 4 mini groups that cover
something different each.  I don't know what would work best or what people
would prefer.

So, "beginners", tell the list what you'd be particularly interested in
hearing about and maybe some of us "begunners" can reply with either a bit
more info for you to help you straight away, or offers to lead a mini group
in exploring that facet of ruby.

For example, two things from the meeting last night that could be considered
for a beginner session might be:

1. Blocks, Procs, binding and such-like (from the discussion after Paolo's
talk last night, although this discussion might be going on in the other
thread as I type this)

2. Routing in Rails (sort of from the end of the discussion about REST last
night, cover the basics like map.connect, map.resource, but also the weird
bits like regexp conditions or /* )

Anyway, don't be shy, let us know what you want (even if that is
"everything"), and we'll do our best to cover it.

Cheers,

Muz
