Rails training opportunities in Europe
Posted by marcel February 13, 2006 @ 01:39 AM
In the next few months, our friends over in Europe will be getting several opportunities to attend Rails training courses.
- Geoffrey Grosenbach, the man behind the Rails podcast as well as libraries such as Gruph Graphs, will be doing a 1 day engagement in London on March 30th through Carson Workshops. If you’d like to get a quick headstart on diving into Rails this workshop is for you. You can register your seat for £395. [Register]
For those looking for longer, more intensive training, April brings two options.
- Chad Fowler, author of the new Rails Recipes book, will be offering a comprehensive Rails course April 10th-14th in London through Skills Matter. Chad has deep knowledge and experience with Ruby as well as Rails. His workshop provides particular attention to how Rails uses the strengths of Ruby to its great advantage. Seats are going for £1,500. [Register]
- Rails core member Marcel Molina Jr. (me) will also be offering an intensive 5 day Rails retreat in Frankfurt, Germany at the Kloster Eberbach Monestary, April 10th-14th. Marcel’s class in December sold out almost immediately and his upcoming class in March is sold out as well. Only 17 seats available for this one so get in while you can for €2,800. [Register]
How long before Dave Thomas and Mike Clark bring their Pragmatic studio over to Europe?
Rails training is spreading.

Just make it cheaper for students and it’ll spread more! :-) Of course, this is wishful thinking.
M.T.
Matt is right! I can’t afford so much money..
Not to forget the Rails Training I’ll be giving in Zurich, Switzerland on 27. & 28.2. Details at www.invisible.ch/static/47/rubyonrailstraining/
The German class sounds pretty interesting, in fact, when reading this:

it sounds even more interesting. Hope to be there.
I’ll be attending Chad’s training in April and I can’t wait for it. And yeah, had to sell a lung to pay for it all (trip+course+place to stay+food), but i’m sure it will be worth it. :)
