RailsConf is more than half sold out and the fastest selling O'Reilly conference

Posted by David February 05, 2007 @ 06:55 PM

The registration form for RailsConf is still glowing hot after a weekend that ensured that we’re now more than half sold out for the conference! This makes RailsConf ‘07 the fastest selling conference that O’Reilly have been involved with.

If we continue with this rate, we’ll be sold out before the end of the week. That’s 1200 seats. Not too shabby for a framework not even three years old and a conference only in its second year.

It’s going to be an amazing festival in Portland, that’s for sure. I can’t wait to get up there and talk about Rails 2.0.

    As a Rails addict whose current company does not specialize in Rails and has little spare cash, I won’t be able to get there…

    So I certainly can’t wait for your slides (and even video? audio?) to become available, so I can see some Rails-Fu condense from the vapor of changesets…

    Whew, Rails 1.2.2 just came out last night – it’s up to almost one thousand gem downloads already:
    1. grep -c “rails-1.2.2.gem ” /var/log/httpd/gems-access_log 993 Good times…

    Response #1 exemplifies everything that is stupid about the web.

    Rails exemplifies pretty much everything that is cool about software and web development.

    See you guys there.
