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](http://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](http://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 removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. We are also looking for future presenters; contact me at (416) 908-6082 if you are interested in getting involved.
