Voices That Matter Professional Ruby Conference
I will be attending Voices That Matter Professional Ruby Conference in Boston and look forward to meeting other RubyHeads. If anyone’s interested, shoot me an email (joon at this domain) and I will show the video of my tutoring sessions I promised before (haven’t had the time to edit). It will be in its rough mostly unedited format (I’m just removing any private information Ben and I discuss), but I think it would be valuable.
I am pleased to let you guys know that the organizers of the conference provided me with a promotional code for $200 off. In addition, if you register by Oct 13th, you get additional $200 off, giving you $400 off total for the conference. The code is PR2MAL4 and must be entered at the time of registration. The conference website is http://www.voicesthatmatter.com/ruby2008 and it’s held in Boston from November 17 – 20.
The pre-conference workshops include both introduction and advanced Ruby tutorials including one from Hal Fulton (author of The Ruby Way). These workshops should serve specially well to those currently not using Ruby and want to find out more. However, looking at the outlines, it appears that experienced developers will find something new as well.
The sessions includes real world case study from New York Times and Yellowpages.com. The best part of this conference is that it’s not just about Rails. It covers Mongrel, Ruby and Java VM.
