Ruby on Rails Workshops 11 comments
One of the great things about Rails is that you can have an idea and implement it in a weekend.
It also helps that there are still many Rails-related domain names available!
Go to RubyOnRailsWorkshops.com and see if there is a workshop happening near you. Or, wish for one, and your dreams might come true.
Made possible by _why’s new Markaby templates, Jeremy Voorhis’ Calendar Helper, and open source icons from FamFamFam.

The calendar helper is really cool, but it’s unfortunately working only for those who like weeks starting on Sundays. I played a bit with the code and whipped up a version with which you can freely select the day weeks start on. I’ll try to make it available but if anyone needs it right now, drop me a mail.
Nice and clean layout. You may want to correct the flag you use for UK events, though—the Union Jack would be more appropriate for the whole UK than the Cross of St. George, which is for England only.
Unless of course you’re going to use national flags for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which would be really cool…
Yeah…for reasons known only to God, the iconset I used didn’t have the Union Jack.
I’ll draw one up tonight. I DO have the flags for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so I might use those instead.
I have switched it so it will show up as England/Wales/Scotland. I still need a flag for Northern Ireland.
Geoff,
Sure does famfamfam flags library have the Jack. It’s gb.png (or .gif).
I am poor, but want to attend the workshop. Help and aspiring programmer out :) http://nsputnik.com/?p=31
Ooh, Northern Ireland—could be a can of worms, given the sectarian background to various flags used within the province! :)
Incidentally, in Safari, if you click on ‘England’ in the country lists on the left hand side, pound signs in the resultant right-hand side have an odd encoding issue (there’s an extra ÃÂ? character preceding the currency symbol). There’s no such issue if I go straight to http://rubyonrailsworkshops.com/countries/show/67, though, so I suspect it could be an Ajax issue?
Firefox 1.5/Mac seems to have no problems on that score.
Fixed.
I am a newbie to Ruby – trying to use this same calendar helper but without much idea on how to install it – and would appreciate a short note on how to do it.
I’m sort of newbie also to rails and need the code for that calendar and also how to install it.
Thanks
Hi ya, how do we get workshops added to the site, is there a submit link? I dont seem to be able to find one. Thanks!
