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
