Where We'll Be

This meetup, as with all talk nights this year, will be at the Ramsey Solutions Conference Center. Map to exact location with parking info: https://goo.gl/B1LWBZ

Who Is Presenting?

Brandon Williams will be the guide for the evening.

Brandon is a Systems Engineer at Ramsey Solutions. He spends the day writing Python and Ansible code to create, maintain, and support the infrastructure that powers all of the Ramsey Solutions web applications. Prior to Ramsey Solutions, he was a full stack developer with experience in Java, Python, and lots and lots of Javascript. Now he's caught the "DevOps" bug and helps bridge the gap between the world of systems and application development.

What You Should Do Beforehand

If you need help with these steps, tag @jwsloan in a question in the #ruby channel on NashDev Slack.

You don't have to do anything before you arrive, unless you'd like to follow along with Brandon during the live coding portion of the evening. If you think you would like to follow along, the following steps would be advised.

Note: You do not need Ruby, Rails, or Postgres installed on your machine. You don't even need to know how to use any of them. Docker has you covered.

Install Docker
- For Mac: Docker for Mac is your best bet. If your system won't run it, you can use Docker Toolbox
- For Linux: Follow the first two steps here.
For Windows: Similar to Mac, you can run [Docker for Windows](https://www.digitalocean.com/communi
