How to get started with Ruby on Rails July 30, 2008

Ruby on Rails is a full stack MVC (model view controller) framework for developing database-backed web applications. It's used by some of the biggest apps on the web today such as Basecamp, Twitter and our very own event management system called EventStream.

Rails provides a complete package to help you on your way to building a powerful and flexible app using the mantra of "convention over configuration". This workshop, presented by EventStream's lead developer Adam Cooke aims to introduce you to the framework by demonstrating the key features of Rails by building a complete blogging app. The process will highlight everything you’ll need to build your own application.

This workshop is lead by Adam Cooke, founder of aTech Labs which is based in Dorset, and specialises in Ruby on Rails development. They have developed a number of applications in Rails including codebase, radar, desklamp, emate and SMI.
