Ruby Developer Meetups: Chicago
In anticipation of a large group of new Rubyists coming to Chicago in October via Code Academy, I thought it would be helpful to put together a resource for various meetups around Chicago.
First, you might consider signing up for Geek Out Chicago! -- a monthly newsletter of events around Chicago.
Here's a list of meetups that occur at least monthly:
