Professional Ruby on Rails Development
2 day workshop for getting started with professional Rails development
September 1st and 2nd, 2006
Introductory Fees: Rs. 8000/- per person
Timing: 10:00AM to 6:00PM

This is a practical hands-on 2 day workshop on Ruby on Rails that will
help you
get started with Rails with a solid foundation of the fundamentals of
Ruby and
Rails. You do not need to know either Ruby or Rails to benefit from this
workshop. The workshop will drive you through some hands-on coding as
well.
This is a quick start workshop for professional Ruby on Rails
development and
will set you in the right direction with just the right set of tips,
tricks and
ideas. We look beyond what is publicly available. We look at the
upcoming
version of Rails and the new features and let you know the benefits in
advance
of public releases. While this workshop is meant for developers, it will
also
be an ideal technical introduction for Project Managers.

Who can benefit from this workshop?

Software application developers looking to start on Rails or already 
working on
Rails will benefit a lot from this workshop to write more elegant Rails
applications. This 2 day workshop will leave you all set to develop full
fledged Rails web applications by leveraging the true benefits of Rails. 
If you
already have some experience development web applications using other
technologies, you will find it easier to see the differences and 
benefits of
Rails. Knowing Ruby is not a must, but can be a plus to get rolling 
faster.
