Feed Description: This is the Ruby related section of Eric Stewart's weblog. These entries will be the commentary of a long time Java/C++ programmer that started exploring Ruby in 2003.
For those who aren’t aware, the Third International Ruby Conference
(rubycentral.org/03/) was recently
held here in Austin, Texas. As someone new to Ruby, I was impressed by the
small but enthusiastic gathering. It was a great sampling of a community
that loves their language and programming for programming’s sake.
I also want to thank the organizers at Ruby Central (and all the others who
made it possible, especially Matz) for bringing this conference to my
doorstep this year. I love conferences that move around and give people who
aren’t part of the core community more incentive to attend.
I’m convinced already that I will have fun with the language and
become a happy Rubyist!
