You can stay motivated by reading together; better apply what you are reading by actively communicating it, as well as hearing others perspectives that will help you better understand the book. Even if you're a more experienced developer it's a great way to keep your skill sharp and share your wisdom and experience. If none of that is convincing just come and have fun with fellow ruby developers!</p> <p>We are starting a new book <a href="http://clean-ruby.com/">Clean Ruby</a> by Jim Gay. We will be discussing chapters ('Being and Doing' to 'Crossing the Use Chasm')</p> <p>Please come having read the chapters and ready to discuss it.</p> <p>Pizza will be provided!</p> <h2>Book Summary</h2> <ul> <li>Learn to think about thinking. At the basis of every program lies a human being's mental model. Creating a program which accurately reflects a shared mental model is crucial to building habitable and maintainable systems.</li> <li>East-oriented code. Learn how to better understand encapsulation and create code which enforces that the right objects have the right responsibilities.</li> <li>Data, Context, and Interaction (DCI). Discover ways to flatten your object structure and create highly cohesive groups of objects that keep related things together, right where you need them.</li> </ul> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pdxruby-bookclub">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
