A new Google Group for Ruby on Rails developers/enthusiasts in Saudi Arabia has been started by Abdulaziz.
Ruby on Rails “is an open source web application framework for the Ruby programming language. It is intended to be used with an Agile development methodology that is used by web developers for rapid development.”
The group is named Rails-KSA and you can find it here.
CodeBetter is a group of programmers who want to “raise software quality in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through sharing best practices related to different Application Lifecycle phases. Community target will be initially Microsoft technologies focus, upon the member’s feedback it can be stretched to other different technologies.”
They are having a CodeBetter June Public Event on Thursday, June 25th 2009 1:00PM at Al-Yamama University, Riyadh. Visit the event page for directions because as we know Google maps for Saudi Arabia is useless. The event will also introduce Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software.
