[ANN] MountainWest RubyConf 2012 Registration Open

[Mike Moore]

The 6th MountainWest RubyConf is now open for registration!

http://mtnwestrubyconf.org/2012/register

Some of MWRC's sessions include:

* Gary Bernhardt from Destroy All Software on using cyclic patterns in our industry for your benefit

* Jamis Buck from 37Signals on small, littler-known things that will make you a better Rubyist

* Yehuda Katz on how to manage our growing reliance on the less-mature world of Javascript

* Steve Klabnik on why what you know about REST is wrong, and the future of web APIs

* Angela Harms on how to un-suck pair programming

...and many other topics and speakers that we found fascinating, and think you will too. We've packed so many smart speakers and people into the same room that it's guaranteed to make your brain hurt - you know, in a good way. You can see the full list here:

Not only that, but this year we have added a full day of workshops after the conference. These 3-hour, hands-on sessions are a great way to deepen your understanding of Ruby. And they are a great option if you are looking for some training for your entire team, because like the conference the workshops are super affordable.

MWRC 2012 is a two-day single-track Ruby conference held on March 15-16, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah. After 5 years we've learned what makes the kind of awesome conferences we want to attend: a conference for hackers by hackers. And this one looks like it's going to be our most awesome yet. And it's still just $100. But you ought to register soon, because we keep the conference small and we tend to sell out earlier each year.

Can't wait to see you there!

Yeah, much quicker than in past years.

If you want to pay a premium you could become a Bronze sponsor, which
includes a ticket. :)

Or I can add you to the waiting list in case someone cancels. We
usually don't have too many cancelations though.

Fellow Ruby Fans,

I have an upcoming need for technical screeners. I am specifically looking for an expert in each of the following areas:

Ruby/Ruby on Rails/HTML/CSS

PHP/HTML/CSS/Wordpress

JQuery/Javascript/HTML/CSS

iOS SDK/Objective-C

Appcelerator's Titanium

This would be an ongoing part time gig screening developers. You could pretty much set your own hours. You would just need to work out your specific time with the candidates. I am looking for a 72 hour turnaround time.

I am anticipating each phone screen will take 30 minutes with 15 minutes for summarizing the candidates strengths, weaknesses and your final recommendation via e-mail. Since some of the candidates will be international, you would need Skype.

The compensation for this would be $30 per screen via PayPal.

If you are interested, please forward me your resume for immediate consideration.

Please feel free to forward this to your professional network.

Thanks,

Rich Beck
