Flexible Rails

I'm going to be speaking at acts_as_conference on February 8-9 in Orlando, Florida.

The title for my talk is "Rails on AIR". The pompous title is "Rails on AIR: Best Practices for using Flex 3 and Adobe AIR with Ruby on Rails 2". I'd hoped to be done Rails on AIR (my planned sequel to Flexible Rails) by this conference; as it stands currently the book isn't even in alpha yet. (Finishing Flexible Rails took a lot longer than I naively expected: I now know how much work goes into taking a Manning book from "completed manuscript" to "fully typeset", and why Manning books have such consistent high quality...)

So, my talk will be some of the material from Flexible Rails, plus a good sized sneak preview of the new ideas and code being developed for Rails on AIR. The ideas and code are already far enough along to talk about, even if that book is not. So, you'll be getting a look at the material before anyone else!

The conference looks to be really great -- I'm really honoured to be included among the list of speakers. Also, the charity session looks great: learn about Rubinus from Evan Phoenix and Merb and Ezra Zygmuntowicz!

So, if you want to go somewhere warm and sunny in February, I'd definitely check it out...
