[apologies for the double post -- had an incomplete paragraph] Still suck at Ruby and want to get better? ¨Âáî ùïâå éî ôèÃèéãáçarea on June 18-19? Then we can help! http://thecompleatrubyist.com/ == The Event The Compleat Rubyist is a unique 2 day training event ran by David A. Black, Gregory Brown, and Jeremy McAnally. ¨Âùïáôôåîäùïõ§ìì âå part of a great mix of presentations, workshops, and panel discussion on four topics that every Ruby user should be well versed in: * Ruby Versions and Implementations * The Testing Landscape * Meta-programming * Best Practices in Style and Substance == Why Trust Us? We're all published authors who have written popular Ruby books. We're active in the community, and you can find us at conferences. ¨Âlove sharing our knowledge with others, and are always happy to learn a thing or two from our fellow Rubyists as well. ¨Âùïãïíå ôï ÔÃÒ¬ you'll feel like you're at an 'event' just as much as you are at a 'training'. It won't be dull, we promise. == ¨Âèáôï åøðåãô While we expect you to know some Ruby basics, you needn't be some guru in order to benefit from what we'll be covering in this event. We've worked hard to make sure that our content will be valuable to both intermediate and advanced Rubyists. Back in January, we ran a TCR event in Tampa, FL and had an absolutely great time. ¨Âæïõîôèáô ÷å ÷åòå áâìå ôï ãïîîåã÷éôè áìïæ ôèfolks who attended the course, giving them the custom attention they needed to get past any rough patches in their Ruby understanding. ¨Âtweaked our event on the fly to meet the needs of our students, and having three instructors with a small class size really made that easy. While in town, we also got together with the Tampa Ruby group and had some great conversations over food and drinks at a local restaurant. We hope to set something like that again in Chicago, as this was one of the most fun parts of the event. == Register!
