I returned from Manhatten last month after my third running of Obtiva's Ruby on Rails TDD Boot Camp. And for the first time, I wasn't completely exhausted! Although I'm not a natural-born public speaker, practice does help a lot, and hopefully it showed this time.

It's hard to believe that it was only a year ago that Obtiva was scrambling to meet the Rails training demand as we constructed our curriculum in preparation for our first course. Since that time the course has run 7 times with Tyler Jennings, Obie Fernandez, and myself as trainers in Illinois (Wheaton, Lombard, Chicago and Evanston), California (San Jose), and New York (Manhatten) for a wide variety of businesses (Cisco Systems, Northwestern University, Stony Brook University, Nielsen Media Research to name a few). It's been an awesome experience to provide these trainings and adapt the course with the changes in the Rails landscape.

I am pleased to announce that our 8th running of this course will be for our newest client Google. And I am even more excited to announce that the instructor for this course will be Obtiva's newest team member Dave Astels.
