Mike Denomy and Johnny Boursiquot have been doing a great job organizing workshops and small talks as we continue to improve Boston Ruby Group project nights.
Mike asked a few of us to speak about a selection of five of our favorite ruby gems as a way to expose beginners to some great libraries. You can find all the talks on the BostonRB presentation listing. Jason Draper also delivered a great talk on writing your first integration tests that I definitely recommend checking out!
Video and slides from my presentation are below.
Want to learn how to use these ruby gems and more? Our latest project, Launch Academy aims to equip aspiring web technologists with the knowledge they need to become a junior developer in just 10 weeks. Apply today!
You can see the rest of our favorites in our rails template, ignition. We use this template when starting new projects for clients.
