********** erubycon **************
Columbus Ohio, February 9-11, 2007.
erubycon, the conference that answers the question: is Ruby ready for the enterprise? Many of you out there have stood back and watched as Ruby and Ruby on Rails have gained popularity. Many of you have had the same questions:
* Can I use it for real applications? * Can I integrate it with my current systems? * Will it scale?
We have gathered an exceptional group of speakers to come and share their experiences with Ruby in Enterprise organizations. These speakers will answer these questions and more. The speakers have had extensive experience and success in many environments such as Java and .NET. They have also found tremendous success and enjoyment with Ruby.
* Bruce Tate, international speaker and best selling author of nine titles including Better, Faster, Lighter Java, and Bitter Java has recently written the popular From Java to Ruby: Things Every Manager should Know will give us an overview of how he has helped organizations accelerate their development and increase effectiveness thanks to the Ruby language.
* Jim Weirich, without whom we would not have Rake, RubyGems or realize that you really can use a nintendo to get your point across at a conference talk.
* Justin Gehtland, co-author of the recent Pragmatic Ajax and Rails for Java Developers will share his experiences and successes he has had recently as founding partner of Relevance, an organization that has successfully leveraged Ruby inside the Enterprise.
* Stuart Halloway, founding partner of Relevance, co-author of Rails for Java Developers, international speaker, and trainer who has trained some of the top consulting organizations in the country on Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Stuart will bring his exceptional teaching style and extensive experience to the conference and demonstrate what this language can do for you.
* Neal Ford, Application Architect for ThoughtWorks, author of The Art of Java Web Development, and international speaker who frequently speaks about Enterprise development for the popular No Fluff Just Stuff series will come and speak about the success ThoughtWorks has had with Ruby and Ruby on Rails in large organizations.
erubycon takes place Feburary 9, 10, and 11 in Columbus Ohio. Tickets will be limited in order to offer a more intimate setting and chance for everyone to hear the speakers. A lounge area will be setup for speaker Q&A sessions, coding help, or just to hang out.
