15 Expert Ruby on Rails developers will be flown into Vancouver, BC for two days PACKED full of presentations.
We at Canada on Rails originally only planned for 10 speakers to be flown in, but pre-registrations have been going so well, and honestly, we just had to pick all of these remarkable speakers and get them into Vancouver for this sure to be amazing - first ever in the world - Ruby on Rails conference.
So, before I tell you who these guys (and gal) are, you might want to go purchase that ticket online first. You have exactly 21 hours and 30 minutes to get your ticket for only $175 CAD. We are expecting a sell-out crowd for the event, and you can be sure it's going to be the biggest turnout Open Source Events has seen yet.
Without any further delay, here they are:
- David Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails
- Thomas Fuchs, creator of script.aculo.us
- Dave Astels, published author on Test Driven Development
- David Black, creator of SCANF.rb, RCRArchive
