Hello Seattle RailsBridge!

Next week, Seattle will be home to Cascadia Ruby Conference. An excellent conference featuring some of the best known speakers in the community! The organizers have offered a discount code for any RailsBridge participants who would like to attend. The conference website is here: http://cascadiaruby.c... and the discount code is 'railsbridge'; This will get you a $250 ticket.

To Kick-Off the conference, next Thursday evening, Blue Box Group (Our Long-Time Sponsor!) will be hosting a Free Hackfest! Details and sign-ups are available online here: http://www.eventbrite... I would strongly encourage you to stop by the Hackfest, as it will be a great opportunity to ask questions and continue to improve your Ruby/Rails skills! I will be there, along with Kerri Miller, and a number of other past RailsBridge teachers and TA's to help you. It will be a great evening for networking and hacking; and we may even make some progress on the RailsBridge Bridge Troll open source project!

I hope to see some of you next week!

Cheers!
