DesertCodeCamp: Saturday, June 13th, 2009

June 11th, 2009
Just a reminder that Desert Code Camp is this Saturday, June 13th, at the DeVry University Phoenix campus. It’s 100% free and has content for pretty much all your popular languages, so developers and students don’t have  much of an excuse not to go. You’ll want to register now and pick your sessions to make sure there’s enough space.
“Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community…Code Camps are always free for attendees…The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you.”

Ruby/Rails Training Now 40% Cheaper!

September 19th, 2008

New on-site Ruby/Rails training rates are now available, here, and they’re better than ever! These rate reductions mean OpenRain training is..

  1. Cheaper than sending a team to RailsConf.
  2. In the comfort of your own office.
  3. Supplemented by addressing the specific needs of your company.
  4. Able to flow into a development agreement if you would benefit from additional assistance.

We realize many companies are transitioning to Ruby with experienced Java and .Net staff, and are thrilled to offer this service at lower rates. With the shocking Spring framework maintenance policy change, there’s never been a better time to go Ruby!
