Second Annual Silicon Valley Ruby Conference

If you're a software developer who's curious about the cutting edge and wondering what the noise is all about, SDForum invites you to spend two days drinking from a ruby-colored firehose. 

Learn from the Early Adopters. New technologies involve risk, pain, and a learning curve. Avoid the most disastrous mistakes, and learn how to quickly reap compelling benefits by learning from the people who've been there. 
Understand the Enthusiasm. Experience the power of Ruby first-hand. Spend two days immersed in the world of Ruby and then decide for yourself. 
Hear From Founders who are Risking it All. Thinking about a new startup? Wondering if Ruby makes sense for you? Hear from founders who decided to bet the farm on Ruby.
