Speaking at eRubyCon
Just a heads up to my faithful readership, I’ll be speaking about IronRuby at erubycon this August. It’ll be my first
public speaking engagement at a technical conference, and my first real public speaking since High School (in-house presentations don’t count in my book). I’m quite nervous but it’s a topic I’m passionate about so I’m really excited as well. The title of the talk is "Because Iron is Battleship Gray: IronRuby In The Real World", and it won’t mention Silverlight or Rails. Ruby is so much more than glitz and glam, and I think that tends to get lost in the hype. She’s a sexy lady, but she’s got brains too!
Hope to see you there!



You will do great! The tribe will support you! So true in your description. The beauty of Ruby is that it can be used anywhere.
Congrats! Make sure you review all of Josh’s great posts about public speaking. Also, if you want someone to review slides or listen to a walkthrough, let me know.
Fantastic! I’m glad to hear that we’ll be there. Let me know if there’s any help you would like in pulling together your talk.
when i were in high school, i am always afraid of public speaking;”*
i am also afraid to stand in front of the crowd and public speaking really cracks me up*-~
i think everyone would have an anxiety attack during public speaking. publick speaking requires a good deal of self-confidence`~;
i think that everyone have a fear of public speaking in one way or another ;’,
Hi there, I’m having a fantastic time reading your weblog. It gives great help especially on things where in impossible for me to fill in. Other than that, your weblog tells almost anything.
Hey may I reference some of the insight from this site if I provide a link back to your site?
