*********** erubycon **************

erubycon, the conference that answers the question: is Ruby ready for
the enterprise? Many of you out there have stood back and watched as
Ruby and Ruby on Rails have gained popularity. Many of you have had the
same questions:

* Can I use it for real applications?
* Can I integrate it with my current systems?
* Will it scale?

We have gathered an exceptional group of speakers to come and share
their experiences with Ruby in Enterprise organizations. These speakers
will answer these questions and more. The speakers have had extensive
experience and success in many environments such as Java and .NET. They
have also found tremendous success and enjoyment with Ruby.

* Bruce Tate, international speaker and best selling author of nine
titles including Better, Faster, Lighter Java, and Bitter Java has
recently written the popular From Java to Ruby: Things Every Manager
should Know will give us an overview of how he has helped organizations
accelerate their development and increase effectiveness thanks to the
Ruby language.

* Jim Weirich, without whom we would not have Rake, RubyGems or
realize that you really can use a nintendo to get your point across at
a conference talk.

* Justin Gehtland, co-author of the recent Pragmatic Ajax and Rails
for Java Developers will share his experiences and successes he has had
recently as founding partner of Relevance, an organization that has
successfully leveraged Ruby inside the Enterprise.

* Stuart Halloway, founding partner of Relevance, co-author of
Rails for Java Developers, international speaker, and trainer who has
trained some of the top consulting organizations in the country on Ruby
and Ruby on Rails. Stuart will bring his exceptional teaching style and
extensive experience to the conference and demonstrate what this
language can do for you.

* Neal Ford, Application Architect for ThoughtWorks, author of The
Art of Java Web Development, and international speaker who frequently
speaks about Enterprise development for the popular No Fluff Just Stuff
series will come and speak about the success ThoughtWorks has had with
Ruby and Ruby on Rails in large organizations.

erubycon takes place Feburary 9, 10, and 11 in Columbus Ohio. Tickets
will be limited in order to offer a more intimate setting and chance
for everyone to hear the speakers. A lounge area will be setup for
speaker Q&A sessions, coding help, or just to hang out.
