There were a lot of opportunities, scheduled and unscheduled, to get together with fellow RoR developers and you could sense that Rails is really changing the way that web development is being done. RailsConf is also good for keeping up with Rails, but I think is maybe even better for just being involved in the Rails community. I hope that a date is announced soon though – I don’t see one for 2008 as of today. I think The Rails Edge Conference is top notch in keeping up with what’s new in the Rails world. Once you’ve got that though, I think its important to keep up with the latest in techniques and also be involved in your programming community. Both taught me quite a lot of things that I hadn’t known before. In terms of being a good Ruby on Rails developer, I’d have to say that assuming that you already have a good background in object-oriented programming and web development, have worked through a beginning Rails book like Agile Web Development with Rails, then you really should take both the Advanced Ruby course by Pragmatic Studio, followed by the Advanced Rails course.
TERMINAL EMULATOR IS NOT FUNCTIONAL APTANA MAC MAC
Obviously, if you want to make Mac applications like I do with WebnoteHappy, you’ll want to go WWDC. So which ones were good and which ones were bad? I think they were all quite good. I actually was scheduled to go to another Cocoa conference, C4 over in Chicago, but had to cancel due to personal reasons. So that’s 2 Ruby conferences, 3 Rails conferences, and one Cocoa conference. So being in charge of the training budget (well actually the entire budget), I went to six training events: In 2007, I was self-employed as the sole member of Happy Apps LLC.
Other times, there was no training budget. Sometimes I would get to go to two if times were good. In the past, my employers would usually send me to one training event.
