is this worthwhile for a noObie?

I'm fascinated by Merb, but most of the reference learning material on
the web is outdated. Will there be talks geared towards merb novices?

[Matt Aimonetti]

very good question, the schedule is prepared as follows:

Sat Morning: Exciting new Merb stuff and what makes Merb different
Sat Afternoon part 1: Advanced Merb stuff / getting started workshop
Sat Afternoon part 2: ORMs + jQuery

Sunday: how to push Merb even further, what's the future of Merb

I need to update the current schedule to allow more time for the workshop as more people mentioned their interest lately.
