%li Have the next great idea?

%li Want to know what it takes to build an app?
%h1 Then Ruby Weekend Is For You!
%p Ruby Weekend is an intensive two day workshop where we'll take 20 people who have no or very little software development experience and walk them through building a web application. At the end of the weekend you'll have the tools to take the next step towards building your idea.

%h1 We're almost ready. :)
%p Signup for our notification list and we'll send you an email when the workshop opens for registration.
%h2 How much is it?
%p One weekend of your time and <strong>$100</strong>.
%h2 Hardware Requirements
%p A modern laptop (i.e. 2GB RAM, 4GB hard drive space available and WIFI capability).
%p
No Netbooks. They were problematic during the first Ruby Weeked. However, if you are certain it meets the hardware requirements above, you can bring it.
=link_to('Here is how you check your computers RAM.', 'http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Find-out-how-much-RAM-your-computer-has', :target => 'new')
%h2 Prerequisites
%p While you don't need programming experience, you should have some basic computer knowledge. I.e. how to save a file, point, click, drag, etc.
%p
Also not required, but something which will make your life easier is an understanding of HTML and CSS. Best of all it's something you can start learning now.
=link_to('We recommend competing these lessons from Codecademy;','http://www.codecademy.com/languages/web/topics/html-overview')
it's a free service.
%h2 Just $100, a weekend and I can become a web developer?
%p
Ruby Weekend is a volunteer effort of the
=link_to('Las Vegas Ruby Group.', 'http://www.meetup.com/las-vegas-ruby-on-rails/', :target => 'new')
We believe introducing others to programing over the course of the weekend is a great way to to give back to the local community.
%p The purpose of this event is to give those with an interest in startups and an inclination to learn computer programing an introduction to Ruby and the Rails framework. While it's open to anyone who can make it to Las Vegas, we're really doing this to help #VegasTech grow it's developer base. The $100 cost serves to ensure those who sign up are committed and will actually show up; after all, there are just 20 spots and this is a great opportunity for the right people.
%p At the end of the weekend, we aim to give attendees the tools to continue the process of learning to becoming a web developer and ultimately build their ideas into a reality.
%p
This is the second Ruby Weekend.

%h2 Brought to you by the Las Vegas Ruby Group (@LVRUG)
= link_to(image_tag("/assets/lvrubylogo.png", class: "logo"), "http://www.meetup.com/las-vegas-ruby-on-rails")
%p This event will primary be taught by Jeremy Woertink and Bob Firestone, both active members of @LVRUG.
%p The Las Vegas Ruby Group is place to learn and share knowledge of Ruby, the Rails framework and related technologies in Las Vegas. We cover several different languages and tend to focus on web applications and ruby.

%p One of the most vocal and friendly members of the group, Jeremy is known for digging into cutting edge technology and pushing the limits. He's been building a 3D video game in Ruby using JRuby and loves sharing what he learns with others. Jeremy also has a great sense of humor which often seeps into his presentations for the group. If you recognize Jeremy it's because you've seen him interviewing people on his show #{link_to("loveadvice.tv", "http://loveadvice.tv")}.
%h3 Bob Firestone - Presenter

%p #{link_to("@bobfirestone", "http://twitter.com/bobfirestone")}
%p Bob joined the Las Vegas Ruby Group knowing nothing about Ruby. Now he's building web applications, presenting to the group and teaching others what he's learned. He's not afraid to express his mind and serves as the CCO of #{link_to("MainStreetChamber", "http://mainstreetchamber.org/")}. Bob loves cars and can talk it up with everyone from grease monkeys to code monkeys.

%p After learning to code in his spare time, Judd wanted a community in Las Vegas to ask Ruby related questions. So he started the Las Vegas Ruby Group. He's been from zero development skills to to launching #{link_to("ScripSmart.com", "http://scripsmart.com")}. Judd has fostered the Las Vegas Ruby Group into one of the most successful user groups in the Las Vegas Tech Community.
