Free Ruby on Rails workshop in Malmö
11Sep2006 Filed under: rails Author: Casper FabriciusIf you are in Copenhagen or southern Sweden (or are willing to travel), you have a great chance to attend a free Ruby on Rails on workshop with the acknowledged Ruby expert, Rails writer and RailsConf organizer David Black this Sunday; September 17th, at 10.00-18.00 in Malmö, Sweden.
It’s the Swedish startup Polar Rose that are hosting the workshop, both to educate its own people in Rails technology, but also to get in touch with the Rails community in the region of Øresund. Nikolaj Nyholm, the CEO of Polar Rose and program chair for O’Reilly EuroOSCON, originally tried engaging David Black for a tutorial at EuroOSCON. David Black was however busy with a workshop in Amsterdam, but when that was cancelled, David was quickly redirected to Malmö.
In other news, Kraftvaerk, the company I work for, are hosting the next Copenhagen.rb gathering at Thuesday September 19th, and rumour has it that David Black might also attend this event, if he can fit it into his busy schedule – my fingers are crossed! :)

I love web development
Hello, I'm Casper Fabricius. I have developed for the web for 10 years, and have been enjoying Ruby on Rails for the past 5.
My experience covers communities, shopping solutions, multi-language sites, heavy back-end lifting and a wide selection of more traditional websites. I like to integrate Ruby with Java and .NET through JRuby and IronRuby when it makes sense. I am passionate about test- and behavior-driven development, but at the same time I am pragmatic and believe in getting things done.
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I work for a fantastic company: Podio. I do not currently take on freelance assignments.
