KickStart Events is dedicated to delivering high-quality hands-on workshops and courses for web application developers. Using experienced mentors who have delivered real-world commercial projects. Taught by programmers for programmers using live coding sessions, slides and participatory discussion.

RubyOnRails

We are going to kick off by running a one-day intensive workshop on RubyOnRails, the super productive framework for developing smart Web 2.0 applications. Learn how to develop code which is elegant and maintainable:

"Ruby on Rails is a breakthrough in lowering the barriers of entry to programming. Powerful web applications that formerly might have taken weeks or months to develop can be produced in a matter of days."

Tim O'Reilly, Founder of O'Reilly Media

Curb the learning curve and accelerate your skills, learning from our condensed experience, successes, misfortunes, tips, tricks and best practices. Learn the Rails way!

Introductory offer

We don't have any pictures of people smiling with satisfaction at glowing laptop screens yet, so we're offering an introductory rate of just £149 per person for the Quickstart Rails Workshop in September and £199 in October. Seating is limited and expected to sell out early, so don't delay.

Our events also give you the opportunity to network & meet other like minded people.
