LONE STAR RUBY CONFERENCE 2008

September 4-6, 2008

Don’t Miss Your Chance to See Matz

The second annual Lone Star Ruby Conference is heating up and right around the corner, running for three days, September 4-6 in Austin, TX. This year LSRC offers a full day of advanced training on Thursday in addition to the two days of Ruby-packed, dual-tract speaking sessions on Friday and Saturday.

And as if that wasn’t enough, the author of Ruby, Yukihiro Matsumoto (a.k.a. Matz), will be keynoting the conference. This is your opportunity to hear from the author of Ruby, to ask him questions, and to hang out for a few days with one of the greatest language designers around.

Rails or Ruby?

The Lone Star Ruby Conference is dedicated to promoting and teaching Ruby. If you are interested in Web or GUI frameworks, Databases or Embedded Applications, if it involves Ruby, then you may find it at LSRC. LSRC is dedicated to bringing you the best of what the Ruby community has to offer. So, don’t be surprised if you see Merb talks right next to talks on Rails and Waves.

Below is a sampling of the eclectic mix of topics covered at LSRC 2008:
