Until now, RubyOnRails training, courses and workshops have been few and far between in the UK and pretty much exclusive to London. Kris, from Interkonect Limited, has decided it is time to share his knowledge and expertise, starting with a QuickStart RubyOnRails Workshop aimed at kicking starting those familiar with building dynamic websites in to the Rails way of thinking.

These will not be 'sit and listen' classes. We expect you to get involved, ask questions and to be programming right along side us on your own laptop. 90% of this workshop will involve live coding sessions and is taught by programmers for programmers.

By the end of the workshop you will be have the confidence to build your own sophisticated Rails applications, understand the core components that make up Rails and have a practical understanding of the Ruby behind Rails.
