Second Annual Silicon Valley Ruby Conference

In the past two years, Ruby on Rails- a framework for quickly building highly interactive and robust web applications-has become the single most talked about framework in software and is now poised to become *the* web development platform. If you're a software developer who's curious about the cutting edge and wondering what the noise is all about, SDForum invites you to spend two days drinking from a ruby-colored fire-hose.

* Learn from the Early Adopters. New technologies involve risk, pain, and a learning curve. Avoid the most disastrous mistakes, and learn how to quickly reap compelling benefits by learning from the people who've been there.
* Understand the Enthusiasm. Experience the power of Ruby first-hand. Spend two days immersed in the world of Ruby and then decide for yourself.

* Hear From Founders who are Risking it All. Thinking about a new startup? Wondering if Ruby makes sense for you? Hear from founders who decided to bet the farm on Ruby.

Speakers Include:

Charles Nutter and Thomas Enebo: "The JRuby Guys", Sun Microsystems
Josh Susser: Ruby and Rails, Powerset
Evan Phoenix: Rubinius Project
Ezra Zygmuntowicz: Lead Rails Evangelist, Engine Yard
