Are there any good training offerings coming up on the west coast,  
ideally  
in either Seattle, Portland, or San Francisco?

If you actually live in Seattle, I think the Seattle Ruby Brigade has  
some kind of training classes set up with the U of Washington. But  
other than that, I don’t know of any formal training. If you have  
enough students, I’d imagine someone in any one of those cities would  
be willing to put on a course – I don’t know about SFO, but both  
Seattle and Portland (my home town) have some world-class Rubyists  
walking the streets looking for ways to enhance the world. 😉

Unfortunately, it’s safe to say that our budget is small enough, that  
we’re  
much better off sending the 2-3 people in my small company who would  
benefit  
from it to something that is already planned and put together.
