Lone Star Ruby Conference Day #1

September 8th, 2007

I’m in Austin at the Lone Star Ruby Conference and I gotta say Day #1 was so packed that I was too worn out to even talk about it last night. A quick breakdown before Day #2 starts…

First the Ruby:

  • Some great talks about Ruby as a beautiful, fun, and exciting languague
  • Interesting talk by James Edward Gray II about using Ruby as a Glue language to call non Ruby applications within the OS
  • Testing…it’s your friend. It now comes in several Ruby flavors.
  • Ruby community is cool. We’re nice and smart and taking the world by force.

Other Stuff:

  • Day #1 went from 9am until 10pm. They even served us lunch and dinner here at the conference center. So pretty much one seat for 13 hours.
  • I got to meet and chat with Gregg and Jason from RailsEnvy.com. The “videos”http://www.railsenvy.com these guys have made for Rails are great and, I’ve got to say, they really know their stuff.
