Well looky here, the days are getting longer. They are getting colder too, but let’s focus on the positives. The mind is an odd thing, making days feel longer as more sunlight fills the hours. This month at the ScotRUG meetup, we’re going to fill our hours by talking. We’re going to run a Lean Coffee style meeting, to talk about whatever comes up!
Lean Coffee is a way of generating topics to talk about, without requiring that you a) know anyone or b) be the biggest personality in the room. If there’s a topic you’ve been wanting to discuss in a less formal setting, bring it along! We’ll supply sticky notes and pens and we can go from there. We’re looking forward to seeing some of you there!

This month, we have a short talk from Eva Koleli: An Introduction to Arel. Eva works at FreeAgent, and uses Rails and ActiveRecord there to interact with their database. She's had cause to jump down a level of abstraction from ActiveRecord to Arel before, and thinks we all might benefit from adding this tool to our Ruby toolbelt.
After the talk is over, there will be plenty of times for questions and for general chat. We'll supply some snacks to help get your hunger through to dinner, and CodeBase has water available from their kitchen. We're a friendly bunch of humans and newcomers are most welcome!
ScotRUG Edinburgh: Eva Koleli "An Introduction to Arel"
Description changed:
This month, we have a short talk from Eva Koleli: An Introduction to Arel. Eva works at FreeAgent, and uses Rails and ActiveRecord there to interact with their database. She's had cause to jump down a level of abstraction from ActiveRecord to Arel before, and thinks we all might benefit from adding this tool to our Ruby toolbelt.After the talk, Eva will be running a workshop, providing a toy database to help you play around with Arel directly.
When all that is done, there will be plenty of time for questions and for general chat. We’ll supply some snacks to help get your hunger through to dinner, and CodeBase has water available from their kitchen. We’re a friendly bunch of humans and newcomers are most welcome!
