Hi, Noisebridge! We added a new class at  7pm Pacific on September  9, 2014

Rails and PostGIS

Basic introduction to geospatial querying in Rails with PostGIS

Please read these two blog posts by Daniel Azuma for background (they are from 2011 but are still quite relevant):

[Geo-Rails Part 1: A Call to Revolution](http://daniel-azuma.com/articles/georails/part-1)

[Geo-Rails Part 2: Setting Up a Geospatial Rails App](http://daniel-azuma.com/articles/georails/part-2)

Then [install PostGIS](http://postgis.net/install) and make sure it works well with Rails by following the [Install documentation for active-record-postgis-adapter](https://github.com/rgeo/activerecord-postgis-adapter#install).

Please submit questions or problems installing PostGIS to the [Starmonkeys Google Group](https://groups.google.com/group/starmonkeys).

I will post a google hangout link in the whiteboard at the beginning of class.

RSVP here: http://www.railsschool.org/l/rails-and-postgis
May The Force Be With You!

Best regards,
Rails School, http://www.railsschool.org
