We are excited to announce that Jim Weirich — well-known and prolific Rubyist and a highly rated speaker — will be giving a talk at the Great Lakes Ruby Bash. His talk is entitled Playing it Safe — How to write library friendly code in Ruby.
Should be great!
We are pleased to announce that we are accepting talk proposals for the Great Lakes Ruby Bash to be held in Ann Arbor, Mich. on Saturday, October 11th.
