Awareness and use of Ruby is exploding throughout the industry!

Ruby is having a serious impact and is quickly becoming the most prominent, intriguing, and dynamic programming language. Its elegance and functionality is enabling increased productivity among developers who are used to the traditional Java and .NET platforms. Companies across all industries, from all over the globe, are beginning to see the mosaic take shape, and the picture it's forming may change the way you think about software development!

'Voices That Matter' Will Deliver a First-Class Ruby Education!

The Voices That Matter: Professional Ruby Conference is brought to you by Pearson Education, the team behind Addison-Wesley's Professional Ruby Series. Like the book series, the conference will provide practical, people-oriented and in-depth information about using Ruby and the Rails platform to create dynamic technology solutions.

Meet World-Class Ruby Authors In Person as They Share Their Expertise!

The conference will introduce you to our leading Ruby and Rails authors, who are living and breathing these ground-breaking technologies every day.

You will experience exciting keynotes and stimulating conference sessions and case studies, with lots of time built in for informal discussions, networking and code sharing. The entire conference, start to finish, is designed for experienced developers seeking to leverage the power, speed and flexibility of Ruby in real world applications.

Listen to a conversation with Russ Olsen
Russ Olsen has been writing programs for over 25 years. During that time Russ has built systems in such diverse areas as low level hardware control, inventory management and GIS, using everything from assembly language to Ruby.

Listen to a conversation with Giles Bowkett
Giles Bowkett began working with the web when Java was about applets, PHP didn't exist, and Perl didn't even have SQL or HTTP libraries. Since then he's worked with Java, Python, PHP, ASP, Flash, and tons of Perl. He began working with Ruby on Rails in late 2005 and has worked exclusively with Ruby since mid-2006.

Expand Your Professional Network of Ruby Experts and Developers!

The Voices That Matter: Professional Ruby Conference will not be an isolated island of education. As a conference participant, you will meet developers just like yourself and be exposed to a wide range of networking opportunities throughout the event. These activities promote and encourage easy interaction with the speakers as well as other attendees.

On-site, there will be ample time for small group discussion, informal networking and structured conversations. Birds of a Feather sessions will address topics the participants choose and bring you together with others interested in those topics.
