The Rails Edge starting

Posted 2006-11-16…

So, tomorrow The Rails Edge starts up.

As I get ready to hop into my car and drive the scant 30 minutes it will take to reach the venue (I’m lucky— this one is right in my neighborhood), I can’t help but be excited. I love conferences. They’re exhausting, but you can’t beat the experience of being at a location with so many people with the same passion for development.

RubyConf [and RailsConf, this year] always give me a huge boost of morale, seeing the new and interesting things that people have been working on. With the unique format of this conference (it feels more collaborative and “friendly” than most) I can’t wait to see the kind of discussion and ideas that will come out of it.
