Desert Code Camp
Saturday, May 6, Desert Code Camp is happening in Tempe, AZ
There seems to be a strong .Net slant, but there are three mighty Ruby
presentations to keep the universe in balance:
9:00 AM - What makes Ruby different (David K.)
http://desertcodecamp.com/signUp.aspx?session=49
11:00 AM - Introduction to Ruby (James B.)
http://desertcodecamp.com/signUp.aspx?session=1
2:00 PM - Ruby on Rails (Josh K.)
http://desertcodecamp.com/signUp.aspx?session=32
Josh is also giving a talk on Introduction to Agile/Extreme Programming
at 10:00 AM
http://desertcodecamp.com/signUp.aspx?session=69
If you’re in the vicinity of the Sonoran Desert, please drop by. It’s
too hot to be outdoors now anyway.
There is some sort of registration process for attending sessions; I
don’t know how strict this is, but please look over the Web site and
sign up for what you think you’ll want to see.
They’ll also be much milling about; the hallway track is often the best
part of a good conference.
