Developers Speaking EVERYWHERE!

Just as Ben was packing his bags for his Ruby talk this weekend in Buenos Aires and polishing his slides before presenting "Rails Page Caching" at the Central Virginia Ruby Enthusiasts' Group on April 14, he learned that another of his proposals, "'Comics' is Hard: Domain Modeling Challenges," was accepted to RubyNation.

In a very cool development (pun intended), we learned that three other Viget staffers will be presenting there, as well.

• Mark will present "Code Stinkers Anonymous: Learning to Write Better Code and Love Refactoring"
• David will present "Optimizing Perceived Performance"
• Tony will present "'Handling' Legacy Databases with DataMapper and Rails"

But, before those guys can head to the Reston in June, they'll be setting up shop for the first Developer Day DC conference on May 30, which we'll be hosting here at headquarters.   Although planning continues on the effort, we know that Pat and Justin will be presenting during that day-long conference.
