(Un)learning programming

NWRUG is a Manchester-based community for people interested in the Ruby programming language. We run regular events open to anyone with an interest in Ruby.

This month (November 2026), Sam Péchèr will reflect on starting out as a junior last year just as the industry started to shift to not writing code

Schedule

• 6:30pm — We gather for pre-talk pizza
• 7:00pm — The watch-along starts
• 8:00pm — We retire to The Crown & Kettle for refreshments and further Ruby chat

Thanks to our sponsors

Fatsoma and thoughtbot kindly sponsor NWRUG. Fatsoma cover the venue hire. thoughtbot covers the pizza and buys the first round of drinks afterwards ❤️
