Feed Description: Obie Fernandez talks about life as a technologist, mostly as ramblings about software development and consulting. Nowadays it's pretty much all about Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
A new year, a new lineup of conference engagements to tell you about.
January
Presenting Advanced Ruby on Rails talk at RubyJax meeting on Jan 17th.
Basic Introduction to Ruby on Rails at OOP 2008 (Program PDF) in Munich, Germany on January 21st. This conference is one of the biggest, most popular technology events in Europe and I'm really looking forward to meeting up with old friends such as Erik Dörnenburg, Dan North and Markus Völter.
February
Keynoting Acts as Conference in Orlando, Florida, on February 8-9. I'm really excited about this talk, since it gives me a chance to break out of the programming realm and address some of my views on open-source development. The conference itself is a small, regional Rails-focused conference. I say regional, but then again I'm hoping lots of northern Rails developers will use it as an excuse to get out of the winter cold for a few days!
Two-part tutorial (3 hours each) about The Rails Way at IT360 in Toronto, on April 7-9. I'll be covering most aspects of application development with Ruby on Rails. The first part will assume no prior knowledge of Rails and start from the basics of the framework. The second part will cover
May
Okay this isn't an engagement yet, because the talks haven't been announced, but I'm hoping one of my proposals for Railsconf 2008 is accepted. This major conference is happening May 29th through June 1st, in Portland, Oregon. Registration opens in February.
