The First Ever Comprehensive Ruby on Rails Education Comes to Austin!

June 3, 2011 - PRLog -- CabForward, one of Austin’s premier Ruby on Rails programming firms, along with EngineYard, the leading development and deployment platform for the cloud, team up to bring ongoing, professional development and education on the Rails framework to the Austin technology community.

Rails is an agile web development tool, making it faster and easier for developers and their clients to work together to build out enhanced applications. The Rails framework was most notably used to develop Twitter, one of the fastest growing social media websites in the world. CabFoward and EngineYard recognized a need for quality, professional Rails training in Austin, one of the most well-known and fastest growing tech cities in the United States. “The demand for Rails expertise far exceeds the supply,” says CabForward owner Lance Vaughn. “There is tremendous opportunity for developers to gain business and build amazing applications.”

The classes will be taught by local tech rock stars such as Mattt Thompson, a Ruby hacker and iOS developer at Gowalla with over 6 years experience with Rails and is the founder of Austin.rb, a community for Ruby programmers in Austin. The first class starts with “Zero to Rails 3” and will take place July 9,10 and July 16,17 at the Tech Ranch Austin headquarters located on Rundberg Lane. Follow up classes include “Rails AntiPatterns” on Jul 23,24 and “jRuby” will take place in the fall as part of the ongoing education series. To view a full schedule of dates and registration information visit www.cabforward.net.

Ruby on Rails education is extremely important to CabForward and EngineYard. In addition to their ongoing classes both parties are providing training for the Lone Star Ruby Conference, which takes place in Austin August 11-13 2011.
