The Compleat Rubyist is a two-day Ruby training event where you'll learn from three of the world's best-known and most successful Ruby authors and instructors.
Expand and deepen your Ruby knowledge as we explore four major Ruby topics over two days:
* Versions and implementations Learn what to expect in Ruby 1.9, and find out about any pitfalls and snags you might hit working with alternative implementations like JRuby!
* The testing landscape Get your bearings among the major tools and philosophies, including Ruby 1.9's MiniTest and MiniSpec
* Metaprogramming Learn principles and techniques of code generation, metaprogramming, and other dynamic programming features.
* Best practices in style and substance Good style goes beyond the surface. We'll guide you to the next level as a Rubyist!
Each topic gets half a day of teaching, coaching, and practice. You'll learn new techniques, consolidate your knowledge, and enjoy intensive mentoring from three world-class Ruby experts.
We welcome practicing Rubyists at all experience levels. (Not sure if you're ready? Contact us and we'll be glad to advise you!)
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
