Red Artisan

Arriving back in Melbourne, after having such a fantastic trip through Europe to attend RailsConf, visit clients and travel, it was great to see everyone at our local user group again at the end of last month.

I gave a quick presentation covering all the fun we all had at RailsConf while away.

It was particularly cool being able to talk about the excitement and atmosphere at the conference, and also at RejectConf which was once again a highlight of the trip.

In just under three weeks we’ll be hosting RailsCamp in Melbourne, which I’m also looking forward to. The previous camp held in Gosford was a blast, and I’m excited to see it happening again!

Last night I met up with the local Frankfurt Rails User Group developers. It was an awesome night, with lots of fun and laughter had by all. I always find it interesting to meet new people and hear what they’ve been doing with Ruby and Rails.

I also gave a few presentations about Rubinius and RSpec, the slides are available for anyone interested:

Many thanks to Mariano for hosting the event, and also a special thanks to Claudia for catering! :)

Today I’m traveling up to Berlin for the next part of my trip, RailsConf Europe. looking forward to meeting up with so many fellow Rails developers in the coming week!
