This is a great milestone for webstandards in the Netherlands.

Rails workshop in Amsterdam

Posted by Juice10 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 09:37:00 GMT

David Black is teaching a one day Rails workshop in Amsterdam. This will be held at september the 18th and will cost € 399 for the early birds and € 500,000,000 € 449 for the slow people.

I think these are very reasonable prices for such a great workshop. As most of your average workshops are € 500 a day and don’t have a world famous, top-of-the-line teacher.

Rails 'Show and Tell' Meeting

Posted by Juice10 Sat, 24 Jun 2006 14:25:00 GMT

Last Thursday Fingertips’ Rails ‘Show and Tell’ Meeting went down.

It was lots of fun and I met quite a few interesting people. Not all talks where as good as each other, but I very much enjoyed the “Why Django?” by Simon de Haan and the “Unicode in Rails” by Julian ‘Julik’ Tarkhanov presentation.

Ruby on Beers

Posted by Juice10 Sun, 21 May 2006 09:53:00 GMT

Some time now I have been meaning to organize an event of my own. I thought it would be fun to get together in a cafe/pub, drink beer and socialize with the whole Dutch Ruby on Rails and I thought the name Ruby On Beers was appropriate.

In my last post I mentioned Ruby On Beers and the reactions I got where all positive so I made a logo for it:

ruby on beers

More concept work.

Date and Time

31st of May, starting at 17:00

Location

Stairway to heaven

RubyEnRails 2006 finished

Posted by Juice10 Thu, 18 May 2006 19:22:00 GMT

RubyEnRails has finished and it was a great success. There where about 120 people there. Most of them hadn't worked with rails longer than 6 months. I also got to know quite allot of people.

The sponsors (Profict and Finalist) did a good job of setting up the event and the venue where this was held was very nice but it took quite long to get there.

I'm all ready looking forward to next years RubyEnRails. Maybe we should organise something in the meantime. We could all meet up somewhere and have a few beers; Ruby on Beers.
