Assuming that all of us know at least one programming language (C/C++/Python), below is the list of things we are planning to learn.

1. Ruby
• If you already know a programming language, it’ll not be difficult for you to pick up Ruby.
• In case you happen to know Python, you’ll feel at home.
• Spend a good half an hour on Ruby In Twenty Minutes and you’ll know how simple and beautiful Ruby is.
• Once you are done with Ruby quick-starter, you can try ruby in your browser and have some fun.
• Please go through Ruby Style Guide to see how to write beautiful and easy to understand Ruby code.
2. Rails
• If you have worked with any MVC framework in past, you’ll pickup rails quite easily.
• If you have worked with Web2py, then go through this Rails vc Web2py presentation which tries to show similarities among both frameworks.
• RailsGuides is one of best and complete documentation for getting started with Ruby on Rails. It may look like a lot of content to beginners. If that’s the case with you, you can skip the guides in Digging Deeper section.
• RailsCasts is  like a sea of quality Ruby on Rails screencasts. Watch a few on topics where you may have doubts.
3. jQuery
• We’ll be learning jQuery assuming that all of us are already familiar with JavaScript.
• We’ll learn only basics initially and explore more as we start using it in a Rails project.
4. CoffeeScript
• CoffeeScript is a language that compiles to JavaScript but it’s way more beautiful to look at and easier to read and understand.
• We’ll not write JavaScript code for our Rails app. Instead, we’ll be writing CoffeeScript!
5. SCSS
• SCSS is an extension of CSS3. It’s fun to write stylesheets using SCSS as it brings in additional features like variables, nested rules etc.
• SCSS will ultimately be compiled to CSS.
• Again, there is not much to do here. Half an hour to familiarize yourself with the syntax and you are ready to roll.
6. Twitter Bootstrap
• Bootstrap is a super simple and crazy awesome CSS and JavaScript toolkit developed by twitter.
• We’ll be using bootstrap to power our Rails apps which we’ll build at a later stage.
• Nothing much to learn here. It’s more about getting familiar with commonly used classes.
7. Git and GitHub
• We’ll be using Git for tracking code while building our apps.
• We’ll learn about basic Git functions like cloning a repository, committing code, pushing code to a remote repository, working in different branches etc.
• Go through Git Basics and we can learn more as we start using it full time.
• We’ll be using GitHub to host all our code. If you don’t have an account already, get one.

We’ll learn these technologies while working regularly at our work places. Once in a while, we’ll meet and share our experiences and knowledge. The plan is to spend one or two weeks to go through basic stuff in all the topics. After that we can start a dummy rails project and learn more as we go.

If you are not in Hyderabad and still want to join, just start exploring and we can connect online! Happy Hacking!!!
