The Object Technology User Group folks have graciously given me 2.5 hours to preach the Ruby and Rails gospel to the good technology folks of Minnesota. I'm armed with 72 brand-spankin' new (and witty) powerpoint slides and a demo Rails app that is not a blog or todo list.

Workin' on the Rails Road
- Introduction to Ruby Programming
- Ruby on Rails Fundamentals
- Rails Demo
- Break
- Working in Ruby and Rails
- Is Rails Ready for Prime Time?

As of a week ago there were 65 RSVPs and I'm speaking in an auditorium that seats 400! So there's plenty of room in case you're in the area come on over and show support for the bestest web developer community in the world. Also that way someone can take over if I faint from the nervousness! (j/k)

I also have a bunch of PragProgrammer books to give away as prizes, including an actual autographed* copy of the hard-to-get-your-hands-on Agile Web Development with Rails.
