Unearth Ruby

So we are two guys who love to work more with Ruby but aren't quite there yet. We both happen to frequent the New York Ruby Meetup (which is amazing) but we felt, as beginners, we need to be hacking more. Then we went to Ruby DCamp, an amazing code retreat + unconference organized by Evan Light (we can't thank him and all the participants enough for the experience) and have come back with the mission to learn & help others learn Ruby by pair programming.

This group is for people who have some knowledge of programming principles that want to learn Ruby (there is a Ruby Nuby group in NYC that is more for people who have zero programming experience) and we are going to be working with Ruby Koans, problems from Project Euler and Ruby Quiz to develop our ruby-fu. So if you are interested in learning Ruby and want to work on problems, come join our meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/unearthruby/).

We also encourage more experienced rubyists to come join us and pair with the beginners. A higher level discussion here and there to reflect on what's happening is always fun (as we experienced at Ruby DCamp).

We are working hard to iron out details on when & where we will have our first meetup but do join the group if you are interested in learning or teaching Ruby and follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/UnearthRuby).
