I&#8217;ve been so excited and busy at the same time I forgot to mention I&#8217;ll be <a href="http://goruco.com/speakers/">speaking</a> at the <a href="http://goruco.com/">Gotham Ruby Conference</a> on April 21st in NYC located at the Googleplex in Chelsea. Hopefully you&#8217;ve got your ticket by now, as last I heard there were only a couple of tickets left. You&#8217;ll hear me giving the JRuby pitch: Ruby on the best VM on the planet, performance updates, deploying Rails by <a href="http://drnicwilliams.com/2007/03/23/drop-rails-into-tomcat-and-it-just-works-ola-bini-on-jruby-presentation/">dropping a file in a Java webserver</a>, and more. Looking forward to carousing with the fine Rubyists in the Tri-State Metro area! Manhattan was my provenance in 1997-1999, where I had my first programming gig out of college, so I feel like I&#8217;m coming back to where I got started, in a way.</p> <p>Only downer &#8211; I&#8217;ll miss the second incarnation of <a href="http://barcamp.org/MinneBar">Minnebar</a>, which was a blast <a href="/articles/tag/minnebar">last year</a>. If you&#8217;re near the Twin Cities that weekend you owe it to yourself to <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/MinneBar/browse_thread/thread/82e63ae53f17bd8a">attend</a>.</p> Sat, 24 Mar 2007 04:41:00 +0000 urn:uuid:f6e673ec-89f8-4b0d-8794-da41e3934d4a Nick Sieger http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2007/03/24/gig-speaking-at-gotham-ruby-conference-2007 ruby jruby goruco minnebar http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/trackback/233
