In addition to the MySQL Conference & Expo 2007, which I just registered for (yes, its not too late, register now!), I also registered for the Second Annual Silicon Valley Ruby Conference. Its at The Tech Museum in San Jose (I honestly have no idea where that is from the Hyatt Santa Clara, but I’m sure a nice taxi driver will), and of things that will clearly interest me are:
Day 1
9:15am – 10:15am Full-Stack Web App Testing with Selenium and Rails – Alex Chaffee
12:30pm – 1:30pm Business Scripting Languages – Asuman Suenbuel and Murray Spork
2:40pm – 3:40pm ActiveRecord – Evan (Rabble) Henshaw-Plath
Day 2
9:15am – 10:15am Making and Breaking Web Services with Ruby – Chris Wanstrath
10:20am – 11:20am Twitter – Blaine Cook
1:35pm – 2:35pm Mongrel Handlers – Ezra Zygmuntowicz
Everything else, I’ll be learning about. Can’t wait to spend the weekend all pumped with the Ruby community. Guess I’ve got some reading to do this week, on the long plane ride there. Incidentally, I just picked my tickets up, so will be in the Bay Area from the 20th right till the 28th of April so if you want to meet, drop me email (colin[at]mysql[dot]com) or SMS/call(expensive) +61412593292.
