Hi Folks,

We’re pleased to announce a new 4-day training course for practicing  
Rails developers called “Mastering Ruby and Rails” taught by Dave  
Thomas and Chad F.:

[http://pragmaticstudio.com/mastering-ruby-rails](http://pragmaticstudio.com/mastering-ruby-rails)

The guys have taken the best of their popular Advanced Ruby and  
Advanced Rails courses and combined them into a single course. But  
rather than simply picking standalone topics from each course, they’ve  
designed this new course around the creation of a sophisticated Rails  
application. It’ll be a mixture of relaxed instruction and hands-on  
labs where you’ll work in teams to build this application. Along the  
way, you’ll bump into design and coding challenges that typically  
cause Rails applications to grow in complexity, and you’ll find  
yourself asking “What’s a good way to solve this problem?” But now you  
won’t be alone. We’ll all discuss the issues and explore solutions  
together. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

Registration is now open for the first course in Long Beach, CA on  
December 1-4. Save $300 by registering before October 24th.

We hope to see you there!

Mike

Looks like a great course. Any plans for offerings early in the new  
year?
