I’m glad to announce that I’ll be conducting the morning tutorial session at the upcoming Windy City Rails Conference.

It’s a 3-hour tutorial called REST 101: Best Practices for Rails Developers.

If you’re relatively new to Rails, especially if you’re currently a .NET or Java developer who’s trying to figure out how to really get started with Rails, this tutorial is for you. If you’re a more seasoned developer, then you should still attend the conference. There’s a great lineup of speakers, all-day coding sessions, and more.

The conference will be held on September 12, 2009 in downtown Chicago. If you register now, you can get the early bird rate of $99 for conference admission or just $199 for the conference with one tutorial session. For those who might not have heard of the annual Windy City Rails conference before, the conference donates all profits to local charities, like the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

So register now for the conference and/or tutorial. We’ll learn a lot, have fun, and support a good cause all in one day.

Questions? Leave a comment below and I’ll try to respond quickly.

Thanks! See you there!
