The RubyNation 2012 Recap Series!

March 27, 2012 by Joe Sak

I went to RubyNation 2012!!! Aaaaaaa!!
It was awesome!!

I met some really cool people in the Ruby community, like Jim Weirich and Russ Olsen. And I got to have some great 1-on-1 time with Chicago's own Corey Haines, who gave the closing keynote and helped me get people out to our RubyNation edition of Code & Coffee. I learned a ton, and it was well worth the trip!

A huge thanks is due to Gray Herter and the volunteer staff who made it all happen!

I've got a series of recap posts I'm going to share over the next week or so, and here are the topics:

Thoughts to consider:

• Part I: Cannibalize Yourself (the opening keynote)
• Part II: Eloquent Explanations

• Part IV: Coding for Uncertainty

Tutorials:

• Part V: Building Mountable Apps
• Part VI: Automate Server & Development Environments with Chef

Website Performance:

So, the series begins with Cannibalize Yourself, find your patterns and disrupt your routine.
