TSOT Ruby on Rails Project Night returns April 8th, plus an opportunity to attend Obie Fernandez wo

On April 8th TSOT, Inc. returns with the fourth TSOT Ruby on Rails
Project Night. The March event was highly successful, and you can now
read all about past TSOT Ruby on Rails Project Nights on our website
at www.tsotinc.com/events ; we have also posted valuable information
from our gracious presenters - enjoy!

With the growing success of our event, we are pleased to announce that
we have been invited to join the IT360 Conference being held in
Toronto on April 7-9, 2008 as an “off-site” event (www.IT360.ca). TSOT
Ruby on Rails Project Night will be held on Tuesday April 8th at the
usual spot - the TSOT development office located at 151 Bloor Street
West.

On April 7th, we are also pleased offer two Ruby on Rails workshops
hosted by Obie F., taking place at the IT360 Conference on
Monday April 7th. As a ‘loyal patron’ of the TSOT Ruby on Rails
Project Night, we are able to offer you a discounted rate for both the
Obie F. Ruby workshops, as well as the entire IT360 conference.
You must register with Code: EB25; please see below for further
details about the workshops and your TSOT discount code.

As for the TSOT Ruby on Rails Project Night on April 8th, we are
pleased to have Morph Labs (www.morphexchange.com) join us as a drink
sponsor (so BYOB is only be necessary in extreme cases!) and the
schedule of presenters will be released next week. We are expecting a
great turn out, so please reserve your space TODAY by emailing
[email protected]. We are also looking for future presenters;
contact me at (416) 908-6082 if you are interested in getting
involved.

Thank you to everyone for the ongoing support, and stay tuned for
further details about April’s exciting event!

Sincerely,

Corina and the TSOT Team

MORE ABOUT THE TUTORIALS:

Interest in Ruby on Rails has grown incredibly, as “Rails” has made
its way into mainstream computing. Interest is growing in-part because
of how much fun & productive programming can be when you use a
framework that emphasizes common sense, elegance and readability. Obie
Fernandez will present two tutorials based on his bestselling book,
“The Rails Way”. The morning session provides a basic introduction to
the main Rails concepts and programming techniques. In the afternoon,
material will be given about effectively building and deploying real
applications using Rails.

***Special Book Give-Away! Three attendees during each tutorial will
win a free copy of Obie’s book, “The Rails Way”. Register today and
you may be one of the six lucky winners.
