Jonas Nicklas. Workshop in Kiev

Even though autumn has come, and many are not left with the joyful feeling that they don’t need to go to school or college. Everyone remembers how it was necessary to write a program on Delphi or C on a sheet of paper torn out? Yes, the lag of the education system is particularly pronounced on the example of subjects on information technology.

Many of you have been successfully engaged in self-education for a long time: read the blogs of developers, forums that discuss pressing issues. After all, there are so many good Ruby on Rails experts now! It is clear that while the wave of demand for such programmers has come to educational institutions and changes will be introduced there, much will change in the technologies themselves.

How else would you help Ruby's specialists solve the lack of knowledge now? Of course, you can invite well-known Ruby developers to us, for example, to a conference where, besides interesting presentations, you can listen to the same developers as you, and actively participate in a master class.
')
Whom? The same self-taught developer as you, Jonas Nicklas , author of capybara testing framework and carrierwave file upload solution .

Here is what he himself says about his master class:

“The Ruby community has long been obsessed with testing, we strive for TDD almost all of our time and try to accommodate this in every piece of code. But do your tests cover all parts of the application? What about heaps of spaghetti from javascript that continues to grow?

In this master class, I will teach you practical tools for successfully using TDD in all parts of your application. Half of the time will be devoted to combining testing with Capybara, the other half will focus on unit testing JavaScript with Jasmin and Evergreen. We will have a series of practical exercises, after which you will know how to set up and use tools to improve the workflow. Please make sure you have a laptop that can run OS X or Linux, where you can easily generate applications on Rails 3.0, pair programming is welcome. ”

In general, the Ruby Weekend on November 5-6 in Kiev is a great way to pull up your skills and ask questions to advanced rubists.
