Spoke at a conference
I ran a workshop entitled "Fast Feedback Loops & Fun with Ruby" at the London Tester Gathering Workshops 2015

It covered automating tedious tasks, as well as actually running those tasks regularly. We started by writing a simple Ruby program that does something useful, e.g. turn a markdown file into HTML. Then we wrapped that in a rake task, and finally automated running that task.

People (and the conference organiser) liked it, so I ran the same workshop again a year later at the same conference as well as at BoosterConf (in Bergen, also 2016).

If you or your team would like to get startet with automating tasks using Ruby, contact me.
