Two events I wanted to make sure you all knew about. First up, we're running a a free Intro to Web Development with Rails course (Rails for Zombies) next month hosted by Full Sail University. The date is Thursday, January 20, 2011 from 6 PM to 9 PM. To register please head over to http://railforzombies2.eventbrite.com/. If you or any friends are interested in learning Rails, this free course is a great place to start.
Next up on February 4th and 5th is Magic Ruby, a free two day Ruby conference down at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Regional conferences are one of the big reasons why the Ruby community rocks. They're chalked full of useful developer talks which will improve your game (no matter what your primary programming language is). See http://www.magic-ruby.com/ to view the talks and register.
Next month we'll start making plans for BarCamp Orlando, but in the meantime, definitely check out these other two free events.
