A little bit about Ruby.
Ruby is a dynamic open source programming language, designed for ease of use and developer happiness. First released in 1995, Ruby has been a staple of web development for over a decade, particularly when paired with the Rails framework. Ruby on Rails (RoR) was first released in 2005 and is an opinionated full stack framework for building web applications.
Rails has consistently ranked in the top 10-15 programming languages used worldwide over the past twelve years and continues to be a very popular language for web application development. Its readability, large community, and the wide availability of libraries (called Gems) all contribute to its continued popularity.
We <3 our Ruby programming community.
We’ve been attending, sponsoring, and presenting at our local Bmore on Rails Meetup for nine years. From 2010-2013 we launched and ran the RailsConf-adjacent unconference BohConf.
