We are happy to announce a stellar lineup of speakers for the first
Red Dirt Ruby Conference to be held May 6th and 7th, 2010 in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. Together with our training partners, we will have 25
leaders in the Ruby community from across the country that will be
presenting the most up-to-date content centered in four of the most
important areas of active development in the Ruby community, the Ruby
language itself, the Ruby on Rails framework, NoSQL databases, and web
servers and hosting. We are also very happy to announce that Dave
Thomas of the Pragmatic Programmers and Jim Weirich of EdgeCase will
participate as keynote speakers. The complete program is below.
The Red Dirt Ruby Conference will be held in downtown Oklahoma City,
which is conveniently located in both the center of the midwest and
the nation itself, making it an ideal location for a national
conference. It is within a days drive from Dallas, Kansas City,
Austin, Saint Louis, Memphis, Albuquerque, and Denver. Convenient
direct flights from cities on both coasts to the Will Rogers
International Airport are also available.
