Rails and Django Debate

Chicago is becoming a great place for Web development with many of the
key people from both the Rails and Django communities calling it home.

On December 3rd, developers from all over Chicago will gather at DePaul
University to hear Adrian Holovaty (lead Django developer) and David
Heinemeier H. (creator of Rails) answer questions about their work
and the future of Web application development.

It should be dynamic. Presentations on both Django and Rails are
planned, as well as a debate of sorts between Adrian and David.

Who’s Invited?

Everyone is invited to attend. Learn more and RSVP at:

How Can You Help?

  • Questions for the debate will be culled from questions submitted on
    the Snakes and Rubies Web site. Even if you can’t attend you can
    still
    take part. Head on over to http://snakesandrubies.com and help us
    make this an event to remember.

  • Help get us slashdotted!!! We’d like to get as many people to attend
    the event as possible to raise awareness for Ruby and Python. Getting
    us slashdotted will go a long way towards helping us achieve that
    goal, so any help here would be much appreciated. Other forms of
    advertisement are welcome as well (Digg, etc…).

Plans are in the works to record both the audio and video from the
event, that way, even folks who are not able to attend can take part.
Stay tuned for further details.

I can’t help you with Slashdot but I have posted you on del.icio.us

And I posted a few questions … I’m not sure they’re provocative
enough, but give me time … it’s not December 3rd yet. :slight_smile:
