Have you ever used a website where you enter some information and it magically remembers what you enter? Or what about listening to programmers talk about databases and code? Come and hear Joe Fiorini, an experienced web developer, explain what programming is and how it can help your web site. You will learn the basics of object-oriented programming for the web, specifically how to get information from a form to a database and from a database back out to a screen. Don't know what a database is? No problem! He will explain that too! If you already know all about programming, never fear! Joe will also be showing how to get started using Ruby on Rails, a growing and extremely popular framework for quickly writing web applications.
