This past weekend Rubyists from all over descended upon Kansas City (my hometown and new place of residence) for the Ruby Midwest conference. Headlined with keynotes from Chris Wanstrath (of GitHub fame) and Yehuda Katz (of Merb and now Rails fame), more than 150 Rubyists attended the single-track conference at the UMKC campus. Intridea was represented by four members, one talk, and by sponsoring a Kansas City Barbecue dinner for the first night of the conference.

…ones, evening Ruby Meetups are a common occurrence at least once a month. Rubyists meet, watch a couple of presentations, and have dinner or drinks together.

Rubyists are proud of that fact that they don't have to worry about memory management. The more knowledgeable Rubyists could tell you that the garbage collector, or GC, works by continually scanning objects in memory once a process has accumulated eight megabytes worth, checking to see if there are any pointers to those objects and then releasing them back to the OS if they do not. But most Rubyists would refuse to venture any farther down that dark path of memory management out of a …

At RailsConf 2010, Fabio Akita (of AkitaOnRails.com ) went crazy with his camcorder and interviewed a wide selection of Rubyists, as well as famous C++ and Agile manifesto developer Bob Martin.

Yes, active, intense learning is a market that was at one point
saturated at at least at this point abundant. I have taught some of
these sessions and I think they're awesome ( Doing one in Chicago in a
few weeks, as I mention in the post). But they are not for the faint

There's lots of ways to present RESTful web services these days, and REST has obviously become the new "it's IPC no it's not" hotness. And of course Rubyists have been helping to lead the way, building restfulness into just about everything they write. Rails itself is built around REST, with most controllers doubling as RESTful interfaces, and it even provides extra tools to help you transparently make RESTful calls from your application.
