RoR Happenings in NOLA with RubyConf

New Orleans is home to many exciting happenings in the world of Ruby on Rails this week as RubyConf comes to New Orleans for the first time. We’re excited to be hosting events at Launch Pad and sponsoring events through Flatsourcing. I wanted to take a minute to share everything that is going on this week.

• RoR Training Fundraiser — 11/10 9am-4pm — Jumpstart Lab is hosting an all-day training session at Launch Pad on Wed. This class is an excellent TDD/Rails3 primer. I’m personally looking forward to taking this class and challenging Anton to a code-off next time I’m in Kazan. All proceeds from the class are going to a Teach For America classroom. Sign up here.

• RubyConf — 11/11–13 — RubyConf will be held at the Hilton Riverside and features three days of fantastic content.

• RubyHappy Happy Hour — 11/11 5–7pm — Join us at the IP building for happy hour in the IP building and at Capdeville hosted by iSeatz, Audiosocket, Flatsourcing & Launch Pad. Sign up here.

• Ruby Bayou Meetup — 11/11 7pm — Following the happy hour, take part in New Orleans’ own Ruby Bayou monthly meeting at Launch Pad. Register now.

I’m excited to be supporting these through Flatsourcing & Launch Pad, and most of all, I’m excited to take the class on Wednesday and start rocking the rails myself :)
