Gems of Knowledge on Ruby on Rails @XING

As I’m sure you already know, Ruby on Rails is a really hot topic at XING. We’ve been reporting on this in various places over the past few months.  As the main sponsor of this year’s ‘Rails Konferenz 2008’ from 9-10 June in Frankfurt, XING is holding a Spanish-themed get together on the eve of the conference – Monday, June 9, at the ‘Leon Garcias’ restaurant, in Kantstraße No 25.

We will serve Spanish finger food and sangria on offer and you also have the chance to eavesdrop on XING programmers from 8p.m., who will be holding short presentations on various different subjects throughout the evening. Johannes, for instance, will be talking about engineering@XING, while Norman and Tammo will be turning their attentions to rconditions- their open source product designed for easy handling of underlying business errors. Phillip will be explaining how we deliver fast pages in spite of site activity. After all this you’ll have the chance to ask questions and chat with the XING developers.

Interested in coming along? To secure one of the few remaining places left, all you have to do is leave a comment here and you’ll receive one of the five available tickets!

We’re looking forward to meeting you!
