Original Post: Ruby on Rails with Panel 4 on RubyConf
Feed Title: Loud Thinking
Feed URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/LoudThinking
Feed Description: All about the full-stack, web-framework Rails for Ruby and on putting it to good effect with Basecamp
My proposal for a Ruby on Rails presentation at RubyConf has been accepted! I'm going to be sharing panel 4 early on October 2nd with Patrick May and Bill Atkins.
I'm especially pleased to share the panel with Bill Atkins as he has been one of the main contributors to Instiki. His talk is even about using the Instiki framework (an early fork of Action Pack) to "Create Elegant Web Applications".
Speaking of familiar faces, Jamis Buck is also going to be there. He did the first has_and_belongs_to_many implementation for Active Record and the SQLite-ruby interface that AR's SQLite adapter depends on.
He'll be talking about Copeland, his dependency injection container for Ruby. But I'm sure I'll be able to get him talking about his exciting new Net::SSH package as well — it's the ticket to SFTP support for Basecamp.
On top of that, the panels include talks by Jim Weirich (Rake — Make for Ruby), Nathaniel Talbott (Test/Unit), Hal Fulton (The Ruby Way), and many, many more.
So it looks like it's going to be a smashing conference. Are you just getting into Ruby? Or thinking about it? Come to Chantilly, Virginia for a long weekend and meet a sizeable chunk of the Ruby community. You'll be able to get all your questions answered, talk code with the best of them, and have a genuine good time! It's cheap too. Just $200 for the whole three day fair. So sign up already.
P.S.: Leave a note in the comments if you consider attending or already registered.
