Manik started with the introductory session. I then started with the basics of Ruby Programming language covering the variables, functions, lambda, classes, modules and somethings on the meta classes. It went well with discussions on some of the points after that Aman came up with a fantastic OOP presentation , demonstrating how we can leverage the Object of Ruby to create the whole functionality of the Class without even touching the Class explicitly.
After lunch, Vijay did a good presentation on the web application testing using selenium. Currently Sai is presenting the testing with WATIR and also we have opened the boxes for the free Ruby T-Shirts and segregated them by sizes
RFD is going really great.
Sai is about to demonstrate some code for testing with Watir.
