Wait… Austin?

We usually hold our classes in Chicago, but we know that not everyone can make it to Chicago. So earlier this year we asked you to vote on where we should hold our next class, and what the topic should be.

Here’s the results of the location poll. Austin won by a slim margin over Southern California, 22% to 20%:

And here’s the result of the topic poll. A one-day “REST and Web Services” class was the clear winner:

Thanks for everyone’s patience – we know it’s taken a little while to pull this together (and we’ve been a little busy this year).

We’ll be able to run this class as a Purple Workshop, Jeff’s side venture for putting on short, fun classes for beginning Rails developers.

What To Expect

If you’ve never attended a Softies class before, here’s the 10-second summary: we aim for a “no question is too dumb” atmosphere; geared for those new to Rails (or at least to the topic of REST); and value live coding demonstrations over boring powerpoint presentations.

For complete details, head on over to the official workshop page . Sign up to be notified when registratation opens (which should be in about a week or so). We’re limiting the class size to only 15 this time, so we recommend you join the notification list.

Thanks, and we hope to see you in Austin!
