The popularity of the Ruby programming language is growing at a rapid pace, along with that of the Rails web application framework. Houston.rb is for those that are interested in programming in the Ruby language, and for those who are also interested in web development using Ruby on Rails. If you would like to interact with other Ruby developers in the Houston area, join us with your questions and your expertise. It does not matter whether you are just starting or whether you are a seasoned pro. All are welcome. We will entertain slightly off-topic subjects, as long as they eventually relate to Ruby programming or Ruby on Rails development. For example CSS, AJAX, and database questions are allowed in this context. To help reduce the likelihood of spammers your join application will be reviewed by the moderators. Those that join and then spam the group will be immediately dropped and banned from rejoining. We encourage our members to upload sample code in the Files section of the site.
