RubyConf 07

November 5th, 2007 | 0 comments

Well, I'm back from Charlotte and RubyConf 07!

This year was quite good, and again being larger than previous years. Notable was the focus mostly back on Ruby, as opposed to Rails. Ruby Central's plan of RailsConf to take the ruby focus back worked.

Lots of people have been of course uploading pictures tagged as rubyconf07 on flickr, and lots of people have blogged the talks. Everything was recorded by Confreaks, but I'm not sure what the deal with the videos will be... I'm looking forward to seeing some of the talks I missed.

Charlotte was great too, very friendly people and we found some tasty local food. We ended up at a local bar called the Double Door on the 2nd and ended up seeing s.o.stereo and Stephanie's ID play - both great performances - nice break from the conference rooms.

Now I'm going to go recover from spending the day in the air!
