discount at the end of this.

This year's Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise Conference
(a.k.a. "Philly Emerging Tech" and "Philly ETE") is set for March
26-27, just outside of Philadelphia.

This event always features great Ruby content. This year's Ruby line-
up includes:

-- David Black, a local Rubyist and author of Ruby for Rails and The
Well-Grounded Rubyist

-- David Chelimsky, RSpec Lead Developer

-- Corey Haines, of Pair Programming Tour (http://
programmingtour.blogspot.com/) and "How I Got Started in Programming"
Interviews (http://geekstorycorp.blogspot.com/) fame

-- Brian Marick, Agile Manifesto co-author; author of Everyday
Scripting with Ruby

-- Gregg Pollack and Jason Seifer, of the Rails Envy Podcast

-- Nick Sieger, JRuby core team member

-- Ezra Zygmuntowicz, creator of the Merb framework and co-founder of
Engine Yard

The keynote speakers will be Andy Hunt (co-founder of The Agile
Alliance, co-founder of the Pragmatic Bookshelf, and co-author of The
Pragmatic Programmer); Jascha Franklin-Hodge ( CTO of Blue State
Digital, which spearheaded Obama for America's online initiatives);
and Michael Tiemann, VP of Open Source Affairs for RedHat.

Other speakers include jQuery creator John Resig; Bill Dudney, author
of Core Animation for the iPhone and co-author of iPhone SDK
Development; Ed Burnette, author of Hello, Android: Introducing
Google's Mobile Development Platform; and Jeremy Sydik, author of
Designing Accessible Web Sites.

The cost is $290 per person. But there's a "4 for the price of 3"
discount (that is, for 4 colleagues or friends -- not necessarily from
the same company -- registered at one time), which brings the price
down to $217 per person.

There's also a user group discount of $25, which can be used with the
4 for 3 rate, bringing the cost under $200. Just use registration
code: ETEDEV.
