Columbus Ruby Brigade

6pm-8pm every third Monday of the month
We are the Columbus Ruby Brigade, a bunch of professionals, students, and geeks who are simply excited about Ruby and Rails and the joy they have brought to development. Currently our only purpose is to get together and geek out about one of the best languages ever developed. We talk about the zen of programming. When we get tired of talking about it, we invite others in to talk about it to us. Networking and socializing are just great perks that come along with the territory. Who can join? Anyone with a pulse. Go to our mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/columbusrb) and sign up to begin chatting, or look for our next meeting. Currently meetings are held on the third Monday of every month. We look forward to seeing you there. Free pizza and beverages are provided to meetings. There is often an informal happy hour after the meeting.

Columbus SQL Server Users Group

Are you looking to learn more about SQL Server or perhaps you would like to teach others about how you overcame certain trials and tribulations with SQL Server?  If so, joining the Columbus SQL Server Users Group may be a good idea for you. 

The Columbus SQL Server Users Group meets the second Thursday of the month.  The meetings are fairly informal and consist of: networking/pizza time, announcements, a presentation (an hour or less), Q&A and typically they give away a few door prizes (such as a book or two). You can learn more about the local chapter here: http://columbus.sqlpass.org/.

Should joining the Columbus SQL Server Users Group interest you or you have any particular questions about the group I would recommend to reaching out to our fellow Sogetian, Sarah Switzer.  Sarah has attended several meetings in the past and would be a good resource to get information from.

Windows Developer User Group

Excited about Windows Phone & Windows 8? How about the new Modern UI design language? Well, we are .. and there is plenty of company!

The Windows Developer User Group has been established to nurture knowledge base and collaboration among Windows Phone & Windows 8 application developers & enthusiasts. While we are primarily based in Columbus OH, developers from all around Ohio, neighboring states and just about anybody who has interest in the Microsoft ecosystem, is most welcome.
With all that’s happening in the Microsoft technology stack, the future looks awesome. Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 share essentials; Windows 8 is changing computing form factors as we know it & XBox is bringing the ecosystem to the living room. Guess what’s common in all of these – the new Modern UI design language & similar programming paradigms.
With the vibrant developer community around Columbus OH, we needed a dedicated forum to talk about upcoming technologies, architectures, design & development paradigms around building applications/games on Windows Phone & Windows 8 platforms. Our focus will be Modern UI Design, XAML/C#, HTML/CSS, WinRT & XNA development, so that we appeal to variety of developer interests. We are registered with INETA & collaborate with other similar User Groups to bring you some of the best speakers/experts in this technology space.
Please come join!

6pm-8pm, meets the 3rd Monday of the Month
