RailsConf 2006 selling fast

Posted by marcel February 02, 2006 @ 07:16 PM

We opened up registration for RailsConf 2006 just over 12 hours ago and already have over 100 people signed up! Dave Thomas and Mike Clark’s Guidebook session is also already half full so if you were planning on coming to RailsConf I would act sooner rather than later.

So go sign up now.

    Argh! I hate having to wait for budget approval!!

    We will cap at around 400. That means we’re (at 4PM EST) well over 25% there.

    room for 400 dosen’t seem large enough, any chance for expanding the room(s)

    RailsConf is sure to be an amazing show, with Martin and Paul there, and the inimitable David and the pragmatic Dave.

    For those that can’t wait till June to get their Rails fix, Canada on Rails is pleased to welcome you through the pearly gates in the beautiful Vancouver, BC. Conference starts on April 13th and runs through till the 14th.

    Tickets are about 1/2 the cost of RailsConf (~$215 USD/$250 CAD), so you might even consider getting a double dose, and see both shows.

    mis conception about Java

    Java is not just for Web Development.

    if you all you want is dynamic web site scripting go PHP, Python.

    Java shines when we are dealing with N-Tier Architecture, Distributed Objects, Distributed Transactions, Security, Messaging(MOM). when High Availability,Fail Over, Load Balancing are important. where we need to talk to Legacy systems using JCA and talk to highly scalabale CORBA/C++ apps over IIOP.

    i really wonder how any of those can be done in lame ruby.

    JSP/Servlet and MVC frameworks are just part of the very big picture that was described earlier.

    this is serious development, and needs serious and dedicated engineers.

    for the rest of script kiddies who have no brain to understand highly scalable and complex systems, and just want to do a crappy dynamic website and think theyre cool , let them have it.

    they are just script kiddies, let them play.

    if you are scripting with PHP,Perl,Python, VB you may look into it. Java and specifically Enterprise Java do not level with these scripting Toolz.

    just looking at ruby syntax makes me wanna puke. urrrghhhhhh.
