The Ruby on Rails InstallFest has now had more than 100 people in Sydney come along to the event to get setup and started with Ruby on Rails!
Last night we had yet another successful InstallFest held at Fairfax Media with 26 attendees coming along. We’d like to thank our awesome mentors Leonard Garvey, 22, Nick Bell, Ryan Townsend, Dom Stockdale and 30 for helping out! You can see all of our pics on the reInteractive Facebook Gallery.
Participants got setup and started by following along to our InstallFest guides, shouting out to our mentors whenever they needed a hand. After an hour of getting stuck into code we stopped for a well deserved break. While we gulped down the pizza and drinks provided by General Assembly, Leonard Garvey gave an awesome talk on Ruby and Rails.
Participants were super pumped about getting started and having their very own blog online by the end of the evening! So, we asked them what they thought of the InstallFest and here is what some of them had to say:
