Jim Weirich / Vital Rails vs "Advanced" Rails

[Paul Wilson]

Hi,

We shifted our Vital Rails course, that we're trying to run in Manchester, to August (8/9/10) but we are unable to get many signups.

A couple of people (hi Tekin and Sean) have got in touch to say that we would get more signups for an advanced course with Jim Weirich. I'm trying to gauge just how much interest there would be. Would you be interested in more advanced course? We have the Test Studio - advanced Ruby and Rails testing. Who would be interested in that for a similar price (£730 for 3 days)? What else would you be interested in?

I think I'd be more game for a 1-2 day course between £250 and £500 covering advanced topics in Rails (sensible patterns, common pitfalls in mature Rails apps (and how to avoid/fix them), advanced dev workflow, useful pointers on the internal workings of Rails (and how that can assist with writing apps).

There's a lot of people in Manchester who maintain mature Rails apps and the kind of course that I think we need is one that will help us do that better. Ideally we'd have Jim pairing with each of us at work on our production codebase but yeah - not gonna happen ;-)

That's my two cents.

I'm with Sean, I think a 3 day course will be a hard sell for most, a) because of the cost, b) because of the time off from work required. A one-day thing on advanced topics would be ideal I reckon.
