6:30- 7:30 Really basics in RUBY. Help with installations and setup. Please install as much of the things listed on http://www.meetup.com/Learn-RUBY-PDX/about/ as you can. We will be walking through the first chapter of Chris pine's book, submit a hello world and end with doing q&a on the first two modules in http://teamtreehouse.com/library/ruby-basics (ruby basics and strings).

You won't need to have done the treehouse work to benefit from this meetup, but it will help retention. There will be some redundancy in the Chris Pine work.

Second in a series: Learn Ruby PDX meetup. The format has one hour following a curriculum, and one hour of discussion on concepts that apply to more advanced students, and then we will be retiring to Baily's taproom for beers afterwards. If you haven't been to the first one, we are still just getting started so we'd love to have you.

We will be meeting at Renewable Funding (400 SW 6th Ave, Ste. 902) this Thursday (Feb 5th). Bring your projects, bring your self.

We will be walking through writing your own methods and classes, (chris pine book) Whatever I feel is relevant to these subjects from eloquent ruby (which is much better updated) and add more syntax for you to memorize. Feel free to bring your own projects as well.

In Chris pine's book: https://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/chap_08.html

In Eloquent ruby: chapter 7-10

We will be going over methods and objects. Dynamic typing skills and more design techniques. we've slowed down on Pine as there is a lot of stuff in the Eloquent Ruby book that can help us refine our skills. I will assign a short project to work on at the end of this meetup to bring back our next meetup.

We will also be doing more psudo code examples.
