…this as a hobby. The value of good conversations with a dedicated group of Practicing Rubyists was something that I didn't anticipate the first time around with this service, but is something I've planned for from the very beginning with the relaunched version. I want my readers to feel like I am accessible and willing to give them personalized attention as they work through the content I'm writing. All of this will be possible, and even financially sustainable, with only a couple …
In anticipation of a large group of new Rubyists coming to Chicago in October via Code Academy , I thought it would be helpful to put together a resource for various meetups around Chicago.
First, you might consider signing up for Geek Out Chicago! — a monthly newsletter of events around Chicago.
Here's a list of meetups that occur at least monthly:
Code and Coffee : Meets every Tuesday at the Starbucks by the brown line stop at Chicago and Franklin. 7AM - 9AM
…of arguments can lead to broken code in remote places in your codebase. For all of these reasons, Rubyists tend to prefer hash-based pseudo-keyword arguments for all but the most straightforward method signatures.

It's the stuff geek summers are made of. You can view additional photos on our Flickr page !
Greetings, faithful Rubyists! It's August, and the conference scene is about to blow up--we're fresh from Washington D.C., where we were pleased to participate in JRubyConf 2011 ! There were many talented and engaged people at that conference, and presentations by the JRuby core team were nice bookends for a great roster of speakers. We'd like to thank the good people at EdgeCase for all their hard work, and give a special shout-out to Amazon Web Services, who sponsored the now-legendary whisky tasting.
…Ruby community because, more than any other community in which I've participated, Rubyists are singularly driven to use not just good-enough tools but ideal tools. Ruby is a community of chaotic reinvention, a community that will jump off a cliff just to try out a new brand of parachute. It's that passion that draws me to the community, that makes me feel like the things that I do matter. It's also that passion that can cut to the bone.
People are inevitably going to form opinions …
