I will be speaking at Mountain West RubyConf 20080 on March 14 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Last year I was completely blown away by MountainWest RubyConf. I really enjoyed the high quality of its talks and corridor chats, the organizers’ kindness, the flawless program execution, and even more importantly, the conference’s strong and engaging human dimension. So needless to say I am very excited to be back.

My talk will be based on Kent Beck’s great “SmallTalk Best Practice Patterns” book, and I will do my best to relay some of his wisdom as it applies to Ruby. To whet your appetite, Pat Eyler, of On Ruby fame, published a mini-interview where we provide more context which practitioners the Ruby craftsman could learn from and about the relationship between the Ruby and the Smalltalk communities.

If you are attending the conference, please get in touch. I would love to meet up with you.
