I decided to create some brief “Quick Start” presentations with the expectation that there might be opportunities to present them as “fillers” at other events. No sooner did I finish the first one, “Quick Start: What Is Rails?”, than I found myself presenting it internally within AOL twice in two weeks. The PDF of the presentation is now available online. Check out the Presentations web page for other available presentations.
AOL Brown Bag Presentation
I will be conducting my presentation, “Using Rails to Create an Enterprise App: A Real-Life Case Study,” as a Brown Bag presentation at AOL on November 27th, 2007.
Giving October Presentation for DCRUG
It’s official. I’ve signed up to do the October presentation for the Washington DC Ruby Users Group. The topic of the presentation will be “Using Rails to Create an Enterprise App: A Case Study.” The talk will focus on real-life issues, and solutions, associated with using Rails to create a business application for use by AOL employees. I’m currently seeking permission from AOL to release real-life screen shots and related information. It should be an eye-opening presentation.
Chad Fowler’s Rails Class
Compliments to AOL, for procuring several sessions of Chad Fowler’s Ruby on Rails class, one of which I’m enrolled in beginning Monday, March 26th. Chad Fowler is the author of the book “Rails Recipes.”
