Hi everyone –

I am extremely pleased to announce that Erik Kastner will be joining  
me in Edison, New Jersey, August 18-21, as co-instructor for the  
training course “Advancing With Rails”. This will be the first time  
that the course has been taught by two people, and it’s going to be  
good!

“Advancing With Rails” is a course for intermediate Rails developers  
who want to make the next push in their Ruby and Rails skills. The  
course is based on each student developing their own application, as  
well as presentations, coaching, and live code demos by the  
instructors. It’s the perfect course for you and/or your co-workers,  
employees, and friends who are ready to get to the next level of skill  
and understanding.

The course will be hosted at the training facilities of Exceed  
Education. For more details and registration info, see  
[http://www.exceededucation.com](http://www.exceededucation.com). (Erik’s name isn’t there yet but it  
will be 🙂

And let me know if you have any questions. See you there!

David

In about two hours, but it’s in NJ 🙂

Not yet, but it’s certainly possible.
