The next Ruby Tuesday will be on the 18th of November. This session will be the same problem as the last session (Splitting the Loot) but can be solved in any language you like. Discussion of the solution and the language features used in the session preferred.
Want pizza? Well order it yourself. Yes, finally, after two sessions and much struggling with Git we’ve launched our pizza ordering application. This week will be the last time the spammy pizza email goes out.

This session is going to be on the pizza application (finally!) using Ramaze. The idea is to add some dynamic functionality and possibly data persistence to the barebones application. There is a GitHub project with the outline code. Currently desired spec from the customer (i.e. me!): Should calculate when the next Ruby Tuesday is [...]
Just to let you know that we are talking about making Ruby Tuesday a little bit broader to include learning languages other than just Ruby. The obvious other candidate is Python but I am sure that people also want to learn about languages like Erlang, Scala, Groovy and Haskell as well. We’re not sure what [...]
The next Ruby Tuesday is the 12th of August. Please let us know if you have any ideas for topics or kata.
The next meeting is this coming Tuesday (29th of July). This one is going to back under it’s spiritual leader David Reed. Please email him with topics you are interested in and your pizza requirements.
That’s it! Mark in your calendars: next Tuesday, 1st of July 6:30PM ~ 8:30PM we will have our next Ruby Tuesday. This time we will be running a Dojo-style Randori in Ruby. We are proposing three Katas prior to the meeting: Brick Wall Patterns Little Bishops Tab Player Please have a look at each and [...]
