Hi all, Sheffield Ruby User Group's May 2011 meeting is confirmed. In parallel with LRUG, we’ll be playing Ruby Golf. Ruby Golf, similar to Perl Golf, is “A game where one attempts to write the shortest [..] program to accomplish some goal.”
We’ll be working in groups to complete a series of ‘holes’ to pass a pre-defined set of examples. At the end, the solutions will be scored, discussed and a winning team will be announced. This session is great for all levels of Ruby experience, with the beginners getting the chance to work through some (reasonably) simple examples and learn some language tricks and the more experienced developers get to flex their Ruby fu. Hopefully, we’ll be pitching ourselves against the guys at LRUG and completing the same holes at the same time and sharing the results. Laptops are required and you’ll need Ruby, RSpec and Git installed. We’ll probably head out for a beer afterwards. We're in the GIST Lab in the Workstation (opposite the station) for the meeting.
