The first Intermediate Ruby group is upon us, and I have some logistics specifics:
TL;DR: Come early. Come hungry. Come to the first floor parking deck entrance, passing by the Wells Fargo en route.
The presentation starts at 7:00 (today, Wednesday, May 21st), but we'll have a veritable cornucopia of food and drinks starting around 6:30 (thanks to Emcien and Insightpool). I'll be hanging out at the Octane downstairs as soon as my morning meetings are done, so feel free to swing by early, hang out and play some ping pong.
Parking at the ATV is free in the evenings (which I believe technically start at 6; you're on your own before that). You should be able to get in via the first floor entrance from the parking deck. The Piedmont road entrance is blocked off for construction, so you'll need to come in from Lenox / Tower road, past the Wells Fargo parking lot. If you'll forgive the terrible paint job:
Green: good. Red: bad. Colorblind people: I'm sorry. [Google maps link]
No prep is required, but if you'd like to go ahead and clone down the repo I'll be starting from, it's available [https://github.com/jamesdabbs/air/tree/cats](on Github). It's looking like we'll have enough people that we won't have much space for workstations, so you probably won't be following along; it'll just be me doing unpracticed, democratically directed, live coding. 😰 I also threw up a blog post that I wrote to help organize my thoughts - you can read it now or wait and be surprised.
See you there!
James
