Still suck at Ruby and want to get better? Can you be in the Chicago area on June 18-19? Then we can help! [http://thecompleatrubyist.com/](http://thecompleatrubyist.com/) == The Event The Compleat Rubyist is a unique 2 day training event ran by David A. Black, Gregory B., and Jeremy McAnally. If you attend, you’ll be part of a great mix of presentations, workshops, and panel discussion on four topics that every Ruby user should be well versed in: - Ruby Versions and Implementations - The Testing Landscape - Meta-programming - Best Practices in Style and Substance == Why Trust Us? We’re all published authors who have written popular Ruby books. We’re active in the community, and you can find us at conferences. We love sharing our knowledge with others, and are always happy to learn a thing or two from our fellow Rubyists as well. If you come to TCR, you’ll feel like you’re at an ‘event’ just as much as you are at a ‘training’. It won’t be dull, we promise. == What to expect While we expect you to know some Ruby basics, Back in January, we ran a TCR event in Tampa, FL and had an absolutely great time. We found that we were able to connect with all of the folks who attended the course, giving them the custom attention they needed to get past any rough patches in their Ruby understanding. We tweaked our event on the fly to meet the needs of our students, and having three instructors with a small class size really made that easy. While in town, we also got together with the Tampa Ruby group and had some great conversations over food and drinks at a local restaurant. We hope to set something like that again in Chicago, as this was one of the most fun parts of the event. == Register! You can find all the important details about the event at: [http://thecompleatrubyist.com/](http://thecompleatrubyist.com/) You should also follow us on twitter for updates: [http://twitter.com/compleatrubyist](http://twitter.com/compleatrubyist) If you can’t attend, but like the idea, please help spread the word! Thanks, Gregory (on behalf of the TCR Trio)
