Hi all -- Tickets are still available (and are even still at the early-bird price, until 9/9) for The Compleat Rubyist, being held in Philadelphia on October 1-2. The Compleat Rubyist is a two-day training event with three instructors: me, Gregory Brown, and Jeremy McAnally. We delve into four topics over the two days, encompassing Ruby language techniques, principles of code design, metaprogramming, best practices in testing, concepts like the Law of Demeter, and more. It's a really great two days, and a unique approach to exploring Ruby. More info and registration links at http://www.compleatrubyist.com. If you have questions you can contact me, or use the contact link on the webpage. See you in Philly! David -- David A. Black, Senior Developer, Cyrus Innovation Inc.
