 The Rise of Ruby

Host: Obie Fernandez

The growth of acceptance and use of the Ruby language is nothing short of phenomenal. Developers have stopped asking "Why?" and are instead seeking to learn how to best take advantage of what Ruby has to offer. Meanwhile, Ruby on Rails is quickly maturing as it approaches version 2.0 and continues its march to dominance in web application development. Widespread adoption of REST principles are simply more fuel for Rails fire around the world. This track provides in-depth learning about programming innovations in Ruby and Rails, along with practical advice for organizations embracing Ruby as their development platform of choice
