DevIgnition!!!
I’m at DevIgnition 2010 in Reston, VA. There are great talks on Java, JavaScript, JRuby, Clojure and other topics. Plus, I’m responsible for videotaping all of the conference sessions.
Jeremy McAnally Interview
In this interview, Gray Herter talks with Ruby expert Jeremy McAnally about his Rails 3.0 talk at RubyNation 2010.
Note: The link has been removed because the video is no longer available. Mostly because Blip.tv sucked as a hosting platform.
The Ruby Insurgency
The Joe O’Brien and Jim Weirich talk, “The Ruby Insurgency,” is now available on Blip.tv, featuring imaginative skits to show Rubyists the mindset of customers. And, of course, our own Dave Bock makes a special guest appearance in the video. Check it out!
