Are you ready to start building your own city? Join a construction team, take your tools and get ready to build a fantastic city while you learn fundamental principles of Lean software development. You an your team will have to maximize value delivered to the people in your city while you compete with other teams to show which is the best agile building team! The objective of this game is to let you experience the fundamental principles behind Lean/Agile software development while you have fun and learn with your partners. During the game, each team will have to mockup buildings and objects in the city, using simple materials provided by the organizers. Teams will get a story backlog, each one with an assigned business value. Each team will carry out the stories within short iterations in order to maximize the value delivered by the end of the game.

The Dojo is, in japanese tradition, the place intended for teaching and perfecting martial arts and meditation. Yoseki is where the assistants of the teacher and advanced students stay. It's where every apprentice wants to be. The Coding Dojo initiative is spreading rapidly in many cities around the world. Its philosophy is about learning, learning and learning. In our Coding Dojo we meet to solve Coding Katas (programming exercises) working in pairs (and rotating in different ways) and using TDD.

This workshop is a hands on, scratch the surface and dive deep into how to deploy your applications into production. Knowing how things work is the first step towards understanding what went wrong when your platform blew up at four in the morning that crazy Saturday. The deployment environment is your platform's home and as its landlord you should know how to build it from the ground up and keep it nice and tidy so that the tenants live happily ever after :).

He coded in Pascal, Delphi, C, Java, PHP, but when he entered the Ruby world through Rails by 2006, never wanted to switch to another language again.

This workshop is an introduction to the different types of non-relational databases, like key-value, columns, documents and graphs. Explaining the main aspects of each one, when they are useful (and when they aren't,) and examples of different engines of each type. NoSQL is a rising topic and so is their usage, but many programmers still don't know them or just heard something about it, without knowing what they are or when they are useful.
Tute maintains the projects: merit and doorkeeper. He created an app to know where he is and what's around: dynamicatlas. He works at General Assembly.
We all have skeletons in our closet, ours or from our team. In this workshop we'll learn how to modify hard to understand, highly coupled code, to transform it following and tending to patterns, so it becomes a beautiful unicorn which complies with Sandi Metz's four rules, avoiding headaches, without "big bang refactors", and, of course, having fun.
Lucas is a tireless apprentice of the art of programming. He lectures at two universities, and teaches the basics of programming for young people from age 17 to 6x (because nobody older attended yet). He currently works at uno21 and is one of the wecode movement co-founders. Some of his projects are braid and notas.
A workshop in which participants will experience the basics and first steps with the main version control system today. Like any workshop, the slogan will be "hands-on", and we will continue some instructions that will drive us to live the use of git. Bring your computer, get on with git.
"Test Driven Development In Real Life" is a workshop for attendees to experience the use and essence of TDD in Ruby. We'll develop an example together, and see the power of growing software with the security that tests provide us. It is designed for people who have learnt the language, but do not necessarily know the testing tools. If you don't know the technique of TDD, or if you saw it only at University or some fancy videos, we suggest you to come and do it in a real project.
Francesco actively contributes to Open Source projects like Rails, Rubinius and Ember.js. He is also the author of several Ruby libraries.
In this workshop you will learn to build web applications with Cuba, a microframework made on Ruby. The workshop is intended for beginners that want to build an application with Cuba from the beginning. Experience with other web frameworks won't be required. However, you should know a little about Ruby. For example you can check out http://tryruby.org/.
Luis a.k.a 'luigibyte' is a programmer and inline skater. He came to the programming world because of
Ruby and since then he has focused on this language.
Since his start in the field, he encountered some nice people that teached him, so he sees this workshop
as an opportunity of giving up some of this.
They say that the last step to understand something is to teach it, so that's his goal.
Joaquín learnt to code when he was a child and wanted to hack the snake game in Basic that ran under DOS.
Since then he realised that programming was his thing. He came across a large variety of languages until
he met Ruby. He says that it was love at first sight. He likes to learn and teach new things all the time.
When he is not programming, he loves to travel, but he misses Buenos Aires from time to time. He dreams
to take his "office" on a RV across the world.
In this workshop you'll learn how to create web applications with Rails. The workshop is for programmers of any other technology, that still don't have experience in Ruby. The objective is for everyone to build a small application during the workshop.
