FALLS CHURCH, VA – Senior Developer Ben Scofield will be taking Portland, OR, by storm in May when he presents "Advanced RESTful Rails" at RailsConf.

The conference – which runs from May 29-June 1, 2008 – brings together the largest number of Ruby and Rails developers in the world.
"It’s the best place to go to stay abreast of current developments and meet smart people from all over the place," he said. "Being able to speak there is just a bonus, really."
