Merrin Macleod – Riding the Rails

Merrin Macleoad from Rails Girls to talk about Kiwi Ruby about the upcoming conference she is organising. We go into what Ruby (est 1993) is and how it fits into the Dev world. Mike and Merrin also geek out on a few languages they learnt back in the day. Kiwi Ruby is about a mixture of local and international speakers, a day of workshops and one single-track day of talks. The will cover topics that interest, excite, and delight Rubyists and the Ruby-curious of all levels. It's being held on Thursday 2 November (workshops) and Friday 3 November (conference) at Te Papa on the Wellington waterfront. ------------------------------------------------------ We share New Zealand tech, social media, startup people's stories.
