Perhaps you want to broaden your skills in order to experiment with real web applications instead of mock-ups. Maybe you want to evaluate if Ruby and Rails is right for you or your project, or you just want to be able to communicate better with your developer friends.
In two fun and intense days you will learn the key concepts of Ruby and Rails, taught by Peter Kordel.
