Welcome to Nairuby, a user group for Ruby programmers based in Nairobi, Kenya. We welcome all programmers of all levels, from beginner to advanced! Our aims are to promote:

  • Software development skills
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Open Source Culture

To do this we organise meetings and workshops to share knowledge, code and our enthusiasm for programming in Ruby.

Participate

There are many ways to participate in Nairuby:

  • Attend our meet-ups: we have a number of regular meet-ups that everyone is welcome to attend:

    • General meetings for formal presentations, lightning talks and group discussions on topics of interest to those working with Ruby. Meetings are usually the second Thursday of the month, "Ruby Thursday". Let us know if you're interested in presenting. Upcoming events on Meetup.

    • Beginner's meetings for one-on-one help. Programmers with any level of Ruby experience are welcome at these so they can get and offer help at these. Happens every week except the first week of the month.

    • Lunch meetings to hang out and meet fellow Ruby enthusiasts. Occurs every last Wednesday of the month.
