Rails Underground Recap

I finally had the time to write up a recap of Rails Underground in London, even though it’s a little overdue. I’ve really come to enjoy smaller regional conferences. Since it’s such a smaller crowd than larger conferences, you get to meet and spend more time with the same people—getting to know them better and pick each other’s brain. Rails Underground was great because of this reason, but not this reason alone.

Remaining Ruby & Rails Conferences in 09

The Ruby and Rails community is still growing strong and the sheer number of conferences coming up is proof of that. Below I’ve put together a list of all the conferences/events I could find before 2010 so you can hopefully make it out to at least one. ;-)

If you do attend one of these conferences, do me a favor and thank the organizer for taking the time to produce the event. Most of them spend a great deal of unpaid time making the event happen and most of them aren’t making a profit. Their passion and hard work helps keep our community strong.

Scotland On Rails Presentations Now Online: 27 Awesome Videos

Did you miss the Scotland on Rails conference this year? No need to fret though, as Engine Yard are hosting videos of all the presentations made at this popular conference.

Rails 3 API and Hadoop, Map Reduce, and Pig to be Presented

We’re extremely excited to announce two of the newest additions to our ever growing speaker list for Aloha on Rails. This conference is shaping up to be a true testament of the breadth and aloha of the Rails community.

Yehuda Katz, core committer and spearheading the Merb/Rails merger, will teach us the principles of the Rails 3 API. He will show us how to read and understand the Rails source code so we can customize the framework just the way we want. The public API for Rails 3 is a major development, and will help stabilize the plugin and extension ecosystem.

Railsconf 2009 – Tuesday

Here’s my video covering Tuesday at Railsconf 2009. This time around I asked people to tell me about a Gem, Plugin, or Library they’ve used in the past few months that saved them time.
