Acts_As_Conference
written by Steven on January 04, 2008
There is a Rails conference coming up in Feb in Orlando FL. Acts_As_Conference, which is sponsored by Less Accounting and promises to be lots of fun. Obie Fernandez will be headlining along with Dan Benjamin. If you don't know who these two guys are, you need to get out more! Obie just published what has quickly become the quintessential Ruby on Rails book The Rails Way, Dan Benjamin is the guy behind "Cork'd":http://corkd.com/ and the guy that wrote the getting rails setup on osx post that all of you have been using. Both seriously heavy hitters and both living in Florida.
Other notables include Evan Phoenix taking about Rubinious, Ezra Zygmuntowicz talking about Merb, Anthony Eden talking about Shining a Light on the Dark Magic of ActiveRecord, Charles Nutter talking about jRuby, and more.
Zed likes 66% of the people I mentioned: This promises to be an amazing conference. As if you didn't need another reason to attend, here are two more:
- The whole Less crew will be there. This includes Allan, myself and "the guys!"
- Since Less Accounting is a sponsor, we get to put a gift in the gift bag. We have decided to give away the very first "Allan Says..." t-shirts. After the conference you will be able to buy these "pre-collectible" t-shirts.
See ya there!
