EastMedia jumps into the Rails training arena
Posted by marcel April 21, 2006 @ 01:30 PM
Matt Pelletier’s EastMedia, a Rails-centric firm out of New York City, has announced that they are offering two Rails classes in the near future.
The first is a one day course in New York City on April 29th taught by Matt Pelletier and Francis Hwang, the founder of the NYC Ruby user group, humanist and author of, among other things, Lafcadio and MockFS. Francis has been building websites in Ruby for over 4 years now. Up until recently he was the primary developer for http://rhizome.org/. You can sign up here for $395.
For those on the other side of the pond, they are also offering a three day course in London , May 5 – 7 taught also by Matt as well as Dr. David Black of Ruby for Rails fame. That one is £1200 GBP and you can sign up here.
UPDATE: Jeremy Voorhis of PLANET ARGON and Globalize fame will also be one of the instructors at the London gig.
Humanist?
Humanist?
Hey everybody. We’ve reduced the fee for the London seminar to £990.
You can still sign up here: http://eastmedia.com/event/index/2
Robbing on Rails?
Guys. The London seminar is in 12 days. It costs £990. Aside from the fact that this works out to around double that of the NY one-dayer (£330/$590 per day), where is the syllabus? (or am I meant to slap my cash down in the vague hope that the course will suit me?)
yeah, defintely a ripoff, please go read the wiki
Hey guys,
I don’t think the price is a ‘ripoff’ or that we’re ‘robbing’ anyone. If you actually go to the wiki or http://rubyonrailsworkshops.com you’ll find all the UK courses are more expensive, whether they’re for one-day or three-day.
Also, it’s not really fair to compare course costs between two countries. The pricing is based on the country, because the standard of living, average salaries and so forth are quite different. Apples and oranges.
We’ll have the syllabus for London up later today.
Thanks, Matt
