I'm excited about teaching a 3-hour tutorial next month at RailsConf on Mobile App Development
with iPhone/iPad and Rails. This stuff is entirely too much fun. And with iPhone 4 and
Rails 3 due to be released this summer, it's an exciting time to be coding in both worlds.
As promised, I've posted preparation suggestions in advance to help you get ready for the tutorial. If you're planning to attend, I'd highly recommend you spend some time in the next three weeks getting oriented with the iPhone starter project. Then, in the days leading up to the tutorial, I'll post all the source code you need to follow along during our time together.
Stay tuned!

Nothing re-energizes the developer in me like a good conference, and the long nap afterwards. And whaddaya know, it's conference season:
-
RailsConf: It's hard to believe this is the fourth RailsConf! Things have come a long way, but one thing has remained constant: The Rails community is a melting pot of great people. (OK, some take longer to thaw than others.) I love the diversity of this crowd, and I'm looking forward to learning from them once again this year. I'm going to try to share some of the work I've been doing with iPhone and Rails, too. If you've been wondering how to get into iPhone development, I'd be honored if you'd attend my talk.
-
WWDC: Did I mention how long that nap was afterwards? WWDC is a monster of a conference. I'm just speculating here, but iPhone 3.0 may crank things up a notch or two. Maybe.
I took a couple years off (it's not that kind of a nap) to work around summer plans. With all the work I've been doing lately on iPhone though, this year is a no-brainer for me.
If you plan to attend one of these conferences, I hope to meet you!

Bob Payne set up an impressive array of podcasting equipment at The Rails Edge conference last month and chatted with speakers and attendees throughout the show.
When the lights came down on the conference the last day, he invited me into his virtual radio
studio to talk about conferences, training, and other Pragmatic Studio offerings on
the horizon.
I'm looking forward to hearing the other recordings he's planning
to release over time. In the meantime, check this one out if you're curious about
what we have in the Pragmatic Studio hopper.

My friend Dan Benjamin invited me onto his new podcast show for a conversation about Ruby, Rails, Pragmatic Studio, and all that stuff.
He expertly worked his interviewer ninjutsu by putting me on the spot about the slow
trickle of blogging going on here. I've been Dan'd!

I really enjoyed chatting with everyone at OSCON last week. Ruby got
a lot of good play, which was good to see. Dave and I gave another
Ruby and Rails Guidebook as a warmer-upper. Kathy Sierra gave a brilliant
keynote that I continue to draw inspiration from. And I had the pleasure of
getting a Seaside demo from Avi Bryant.
It all stretches the brain... in a very good way.
If you're looking for the slides to my Capistrano and testing talks,
as promised I've posted them
over here.
Enjoy!
