[Brug-talk] Welcome

[Thomas Richard]

Hello all,

I would like to say hi to this BRUG community aswell. I am studying
civil engineering (K.U. Leuven) at the moment. This means i'm still
pretty young (18) and I don't have alot of experience with these kind
of communities. I'm looking forward to participate in a meeting like
this though. It will certainly be a rich experience for me.

As for my programming skills. I only just started using Ruby on Rails,
just for fun actually. I'm always looking for some kind of challenge
where i can bite myself into. I'm currently going threw the basics of
the RoR framework and i must admit that they look promising.

Looking forward to hear more.

Greetings,
Thomas Richard
