After being one week on the road, I'm finally back home again. Last week I presented at RubyFools Copenhagen and Scotland on Rails and therefore traveled a lot.
This was my first time in Copenhagen and it seemed like a very nice city. The conference venue was very nice, a brand new university building with a big hall. My talk about Rails on AWS was well received. I've added some information about the new EC2 features like elastic IPs and availability zones. A video of the presentation should hopefully soon be available. After the sessions I've spend some time chatting with Matz about Ruby/JRuby/Rubinius and his work in Japan.
Next I traveled to Edinburgh for Scotland on Rails. Edinburgh feels like my second home town as I've studied and worked there for a while. The conference was very good organized and had a different Ruby crew there. Most of the RubyFools Copenhagen folks went straight to RubyFools Oslo, so there were many new faces in Edinburgh.
I gave a presentation about Rails Patterns, typical problems of real-life Rails production sites and solutions/patterns. Afterwards I had a couple of nice conversations with other developers and their experiences with similar situations.
Apart from the great conference, I had a chance to spend some time in Edinburgh and catch-up with some people there.
