[LRUG] London Ruby Dojo (and DoJunior!)

[Andrew Chaa]

Hi, guys. 

My name is Andrew and I use C# everyday at work, but got recently fascinated by Ruby and Rails. 
I finished Ruby Koans, and now am learning Rails by following the Pragmatic Bookshelf's "Agile Web Development with Rails" 


As I am new to Ruby, I believe this will be a fantastic opportunity for me to get really into Ruby and am looking forward to it. 

Many thanks Sidekick Studios for this.

Kind regards

Andrew

Hello Rubyists!

We’re hosting a Ruby Coding Dojo at our studio (
http://sidekickstudios.net ) in Old Street every Thursday at 6pm,
starting from the 26th. We’ll pick a challenge, and then split into
teams and try to come up with interesting solutions. Afterwards we’ll
compare, contrast and review. And go to the pub.

Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a Ruby novice or expert, and the
beer is most definitely on us. It’ll be fun, and you’ll keep your
brain sharp.

At the same time, we’ll be running DoJunior, where kids pair up with
developers and build awesome web apps. The world needs more coders,
and our schools aren’t teaching the real stuff. We’re working with
local youth organisations to make sure we reach kids who wouldn’t
otherwise have the funds, contacts or confidence to get this
opportunity.

Anyone who wants to help mentor and teach the next generation of
hackers should get in touch with us, or just rock up to our studio
Thursday at 6pm.

There won't be any kids this week, just the dojo and a chance for
anyone interested in DoJunior to find out more and get involved.

We’re right next to Old Street Station:

Sidekick Studios
Third Floor, Fergusson House, 124-128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NJ

Can’t wait to hear from you or see you.

Cheers,

Alistair (resident geek) and Lara (community manager) @ Sidekick Studios
