Del.icio.usFREE Introduction to Ruby on Rails Class
Rails For All will be holding a FREE two session introduction to Ruby on Rails class at DeVry University in Orlando, Florida. This class is targeting those who have heard of Ruby on Rails and want to see what all the fuss is about. It will be a beginner class, targeting web designers and developers of all languages. We won't get too in-depth with Ruby or Rails, so if you aren't a programmer all is well. We also have some great prizes to give away to those sticking with us for both sessions. There are 50 seats available so RSVP soon!
