@bonf people in general don't react nicely to such messages, if you want to contribute to the community feel free to come to the meetup and participate on projects, otherwise we don't tonlerate random job search postings as ruby developer groups in general recieve a large amount of those.

@githubemma

Hello!

I found your Ruby group a few days ago and I was wondering if maybe one/a few of you might be interested in working on a side-project with me. I realise you usually get together at Meetups to discuss Ruby things so if it would be ok, could I come along on the 19th and show you the idea I'm working on?

Louis Pilfold

@lpil

What's the project?

And of course you're welcome to come and chat about projects :)

Peter Saxton

@CrowdHailer

@githubemma definitely share your project, all sorts gets worked on at the meetup

githubemma

@githubemma

Thank you :) Yeh my project is aiming to link common information together onto one page. I'll try and explain more about it on the 19th. A fair bit of the site is already done but there's some parts which I'm not too sure about and was wondering if anyone might be interested in it too

Louis Pilfold

@lpil

Linky linky?

githubemma

@githubemma

I'm going to try make a page specifically for the 19th so I'll send the link over once I'm done

rcigor

@rcigor

hi all, what's the "program" for this evening's meetup?

Greyyyyys

@Greyschale

@rcigor I think some of us may keep working on getting a site up, otherwise I think some others might be interested in doing some more katas

also sounds like @githubemma has a project to share :D

rcigor

@rcigor

I'll be up for helping with the site, what's the best way to catch up?

Greyyyyys

@Greyschale

everything we have so far should be in the repo https://github.com/rubyhacknight/rubyhacknight

there are a few issues open there. basically, we have a domain, we have a basic Rails app, now we just need to make it awesome :D

stanpeev

@stanpeev

Hi all, Stan here - I'm a Ruby noob, working hard to become a ninja someday. Hope you're all doing well! I was wondering if the meetups are suitable for amateurs like myself?

Greyyyyys

@Greyschale

absolutely! more than welcome for Rubyists of all skill levels :)

stanpeev

@stanpeev

Hi all, I'm well excited for my first meeting tomorrow, just wondering if I need to bring my own machine? Thanks in advance!

Louis Pilfold

@lpil

Not mandatory, but it's certainly useful if you want to do more than just chat :)

Greyyyyys

@Greyschale

hey @stanpeev, like @lpil said, best to bring your own if you want to hack :D unfortunately we don't have loaner laptops or anything

stanpeev

@stanpeev

@Greyschale @lpil thanks for the clarity! I am bringing my own :)

Drew Johnson

@mrknip

Hi all - I'm also a rank amateur coming to my first hacknight, and just thought I'd stick a quick hi up here as I'll be too late for the 'introduce yourself' bit tonight. Looking forward to it!

lbarasti

Greyyyyys

@Greyschale

globalavocado

@globalavocado

Hey folks, I'm struggling a bit with model validations at the moment, does anyone know a good blog post/tutorial for this?

Alan Gabbianelli

@AlanGabbianelli

@globalavocado Rails documentation is usually very good, have you taken a look at this? http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_validations.html#why-use-validations-questionmark
It helped me to understand it

Greyyyyys

@Greyschale

@jcampbell05 sorry didn't see your message. awesome though! :D

globalavocado

@globalavocado

@AlanGabbianelli thanks, yes I might have to start right from the beginning again.

Drew Johnson

@mrknip

Hi all - thought I'd post a wee message as I'll again be coming from work and will probably arrive too late for introductions etc. I'm currently learning to use Sinatra and trying to get clear on how to test in it with RSpec, but will most likely come sit on the newbie table again and see what everyone's up to. Looking forward it!

James Campbell

@jcampbell05

@Greyschale no problem

Alan Gabbianelli

@AlanGabbianelli

Hi all, today will be my first one, so please be nice and gentle😁😂
