You have at least two chances to get introduced to Ruby on Rails by yours truly this year. I do a presentation on Rails with a focus on ActiveRecord, the ORM of Rails, on Commity Day 2009 in Copenhagen. I am also teaching Rails used with agile methods at Copenhagen Business School this fall.

Community Day 2009 is free 1-day event May 28 in Copenhagen sponsored by Danish developer communities. Besides my two cents, it also features presentations on Android, Flex, Air, Silverlight, LINQ, Drupal, jQuery and ASP.NET MVC – in other words it looking to be a lot of buzzwords and popular technologies explained. As if that wasn’t enough, the day also include three geek-friendly meals, friendly competitions and lots of free beer.

The course I will be teaching at Copenhagen Business School is called Agile Development in Practice, and builds upon a theoretic platform of agile methods. The course focus is on giving the students practical experience with Scrum and Ruby on Rails through a combination of traditional teaching and working with real-life examples. The course is free to attend for all Danish students, and counts for either 7,5 or 15 ETCS points. Others can also enroll in the course for a fee. The course description is not yet available on the CBS homepage, but I will link to here as soon as it is ready.

But before all that, I myself will hopefully learn many new and useful things about Ruby, Rails and all things geeky at RailsConf in Las Vegas. See you there?
