New Location!

Dear Ruby::AZ members,

After weighting our options and analyzing feedback we have accepted CO+HOOTS offer to host our monthly meetings. We appreciate everyone who volunteered a location and those who participated in the surveys. Even if you location of choice was not selected I hope that you would continue your support and attendance of the group.

The folks at CoHoots are excited to have us join them and already have few Rubyists working there now. They will have some of the in-house Rubyists stick around for the meeting so that we won't have to worry about vacating the premises.

I think this will be a good move for the group. More centrally located and with plenty of parking. They have about 30 parking spots available.

The address is 1027 E. Washington St. Suite 107.

This is a free, one-day event put on by the local Phoenix community to help promote software development in general. There is no right or wrong language, platform, or technology. If a topic relates in any way to the code that causes a machine to produce a desired result, it's welcome here. In order to use the official Code Camp name we follow these simple protocols:

1.  By and For the Developer Community. Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community. 
2. Always Free Code Camps are always free for attendees. 
3. Community Developed Material The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is...
