If your shop has trouble shipping quality software on time -- and let's face it, most do -- then this book is for you. If you're a manager, I'd say that doubly so.

Ruby Conference in North Carolina! Ruby RX (Dec 31)
We turned the website on for Ruby RX yesterday. It's a regional Ruby conference in North Carolina. We may still tinker with the speaker list a little (one person might bow out and be replaced). If all goes well we'll take this conference to several other cities next year, much like the Java/Agile No Fluff Just Stuff touring conference.

Here's the URL: RubyRX

From the website:

Ruby is a dynamic, open source language with a focus on simplicity. Since it's release in 1995, Ruby is now among most popular programing languages. The Ruby on Rails web framework has created a major shift in the web development space. If you haven't experienced the simplicity of ROR's Convention Over Confituration model, it is time to learn what all the buzz is about.

RubyRX will cover a lot more than just Ruby and Rails. Other languages will be covered including: Clojure, Erlang, Scala, and more. You will also have an opportunity to learn about tools, frameworks, and best practices including: Git, Sinatra, and testing techniques.

This event is an opportunity to learn from some of the best authors and developers in the industry and network with your Ruby user community. Whether you are brand new to Ruby or a long time community member, RubyRX offers a chance to master essential skills and gain exposure to the latest best practices.
