Flexible Rails

With everything going on surrounding Flexible Rails, I forgot to blog this until now: I am speaking about using Flex with Rails at the Rails to Italy conference in Pisa this Saturday (October 27, 2007)!

I am very honoured to be included in this amazing speaker list.

The full title of my talk is "RESTful Rich Internet Application Development with Rails and Flex 2″. It's from 4:15 to 4:45 on Saturday, October 27, 2007.

I'm sitting in a hotel in Florence right now, having spent a few days in London and a couple days in a villa in Lastra a Signa revising Flexible Rails. Of course, I could think of worse places to write a book than overlooking the Tuscan hills. Still, it's a shame I can't spend the whole time sightseeing--not that I'm complaining though! Walking around Florence and seeing the amazing art and sculpture is a constant reminder not to take one's own work too seriously, since it is not even on the same planet as the accomplishments of the people who lived here hundreds of years ago...
