First Ruby Jumpstart Complete!

The first Ruby Jumpstart course took place this weekend and was a big success!

On Saturday we built a project that manipulated and cleaned CSV data from a conference registration. On Sunday morning we took it a step further and used the API from the Sunlight Foundation to lookup congressional representative information for our CSV attendees. Sunday afternoon we built a simple Twitter client that posted tweets, sent direct messages, and mass-messaged lists of people.

More details and feedback about the event will be posted in the coming days.

All attention is now shifted to the first Rails Jumpstart in just two weeks!
