So, this is not a timely post, but …
The first formal meeting of the Ruby India User Group at Bangalore was held a few days ago at our offices. We had around 30 people packed into a tiny meeting room, so “standing room only” was an understatement.
There were people with a range of Ruby experience; so in the first hour, Yogi talked on “doing things the Ruby way” — essentially an intro to the language by explicitly coding a small application, live. A very interactive way to explain the basics of Ruby.
In the second hour, we had Bret Pettichord demo Watir and Selenium . Watir seems really cool, (and I’ve already started using it on a couple of our apps) but it seems a shame that it only works on Windows. So a lot of the discussion centered around getting Watir and Selenium to work together.
All in all, a very intersting couple of hours. I can’t wait for the next meet, where we’ll probably talk about Rails.
