After successfully organizing the RubyFunDay in Pune and Delhi, Geekeerie is launching a new product “The Geekups”.

FunDays is our series of free un-conferences, driven by the vision of bring together the developer community. The focus of FunDay is sharing and learning.

Geekups are going to be hands on workshops, conducted by professionals. The focus will be on top notch content and sessions by the best in the industry. And you guessed it right, Geekups won’t be free. They would have a minimal fee, so that we are able to cover the expenses and compensate the professionals who would conduct the session for their time.

The first Geekup is the Rails.initialize(:step => 1) which would be a RubyOnRails workshop for the beginners. Rails.Initialize(:step => 1) is the first of the two basic level Rails geekups. The step 1 is for those who want to start developing web applications using RubyOnRails framework.

We have a lot more planned and will be coming soon. There’s Rails.initalize(:step => 2) and then we have niche topics like building your multitenanted SAAS application with subdomain-fu in Rails, Deployment and Scaling challenges for your rails app and many more coming soon.

Coming back to Rails.Initialize(:step => 1), this would be first of it’s kind of workshop in India which will provide full day live coding and a great exposure to all required things to kickstart a Rails application.

You must attend the Geekup if …
-> you are planning to start learning Ruby on Rails
-> you are not able to find out the time from your busy schedule to learn Rails
-> you always wanted to learn Rails but pushing it back as it’s a new Framework and you don’t even know Ruby

The details of the first Geekup are on this page

Since last one year, there is quite a bit of Ruby and RubyOnRails development happening in India. Still the biggest thing missing here is the official Ruby and Rails meet-ups like RailsConf and RubyConf. Being in Ruby and Rails community since last three years I’ve been attending many events in India but couldn’t find any of them Ruby centric. And in one of the past event I and Manik decided to have an event focusing fully on Ruby and RubyOnRails.

And here we come. We are organizing the first RubyFunDay. Its going to be one of its kind of event in India. There would be sessions on some of the really hot topics…

Flex + Rails
Internationalization in Rails
FxRuby+AR
Facebook APP + Rails

If you like to have Fun with Ruby, you are most welcome to attend the event. To attend the event, you would need to register online for the event. Its going to happen in a very decent venue, and we are hearty grateful to Impetus Technology for sponsoring the venue. I am sure you would enjoy a lot in the event.

More good things in the event apart from Ruby and Rails includes the printed Ruby Ts … cool yeah ?

RubyFunDay is going to be a pure Code Burning Station. Every session would be full of live code demonstrations.
If you would like to present a session at this event, register online for it and send me an email with your topic’s details on [surDOTmaxATgmailDOTcom]. The only constraint we have is, it should not be mere presentation, you will have to show the live code in the session.

For registration and more details on the event please visit here

I would really appreciate if you blog/tweet about the event and help spreading a word about it. If you do, please add the tag/category to the post as “rubyfunday”.

If you would be there, and get time, I would love to speak to you. You can recognize me easily, its very simple, I wear Jeans and T-shirts mostly

See you there with more and more Ruby.
