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

@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

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

Hi everyone! Just joined the group. Hailing from Singapore but currently studying in London. Had been following Ruby/Rails from Rails 2.3-4.2 but lost touch last few years. Just recently started working on a sideproject on Rails. Wow, so much has changed! Really excited to meet you guys in the upcoming hacknight!
