Hi Folks, Apologies in advance for the blatant advertisement. Just thought you might be interested in our new regional Ruby/Rails conference series. The first will take place on November 16-18 in Denver, CO. http://therailsedge.com -------------------- What''s It About? -------------------- You all know that Rails and Ruby are on the move. Every month brings new tools, new techniques, and new ideas on how to use them. But how do you keep up with the latest and greatest tools, techniques, and tricks? The Rails Edge is a 3-day, single-track conference where we all sharpen our edge throughout the year. Having one track means that everyone shares the experience, and everyone can build on each session during the breaks and in the evenings. It means we have a critical mass of folks, and all the more experience to share. -------------------- Who''s Involved? -------------------- By attending The Rails Edge, you''ll spend 3 days learning from folks you probably already know from the Rails/Ruby communities: * Dave Thomas * Chad Fowler * Jim Weirich * Marcel Molina Jr. * Bruce Williams * Stuart Halloway * Justin Gehtland * James Duncan Davidson * Mike Clark These folks participate in all the sessions, with one or two people actually leading each session. That way, everyone is on hand to help answer questions and share their experiences. And throughout the conference we''re all learning more from each other. -------------------- What Will I Learn? -------------------- Get up to speed and stay sharp on these leading edge topics: * Metaprogramming Ruby * Rails and Ajax * ActionPack Demystified * Building View Frameworks * Rake: Building Up Ruby * Rails Reflection * Design Patterns in Ruby * Rails: The Right Tool for the Job? * ActiveRecord Demystified * Ruby Idioms for Rails Programmers * Deploying Rails Applications * Buried Treasure: Hidden Rails Tips * ...and more! We''ll also have plenty of time for all that good hallway discussion that makes conferences so unique. -------------------- Register Now and Save -------------------- Registration is now open!
