Jared McFarland will be giving a presentation covering Ruby on Rails on May 1st, at 6pm at 115 East Broadway Blvd., Tucson, AZ 85701.  Here’s a list of things I’ll be going over:

• What is Ruby?
• What is Rails?
• Setting up a new Rails App
• Scaffolding
• Database Migrations
• IRB
• RJS
• Ruby Console
• Some outside RoR resources that will be helpful

I’m going to do a really common tutorial known as the “15 minute blog tutorial”.  If you’d like to follow along you’ll need a computer with:

• A text editor
• Command line access
• MySQL Database
• Ruby on Rails

Please visit www.Autopoetic.org for more information about this interdisciplinary event of art + music + performance.

In May of 2007 visual artists, bands, dj’s, live aerosol artists, a fire performer and many viewer-participants gathered in Tucson, Arizona for a playful night of art, multimedia, performance and music. This convergent event, which embodied the creative spirit of a community, was given the name Autopoiesis. Based on the success of this gathering, organizers of the event realized that it was a process worth repeating. Please join us on the night of June 14th at Splinter Studios for Autopoiesis 2008!

Join us Thursday evening, April 17th, at 7pm.
