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

You can get Ruby on Rails those by following these links:
