Hi Folks,
I'm really passionate about Ruby on Rails which is why I started my
RoR based web dev business, run a free Rails job board, and co-
organise the monthly Perth RoRo group. However after having hired a
dev for my business early this year, and spoken with firms that have
been through the same process recently, it's evident that the
professional talent pool is limited. I believe that the continued
success of the framework depends on the existence of a larger pool of
professional Ruby on Rails developers, and at the very least, such a
pool would make life a bit easier for some of us right now.
Because of this, myself and Myles Eftos (MadPilot Productions) have
started a Ruby on Rails Training business ( http://railstraining.in )
with the first course designed as a low cost introduction to the Ruby
language and the Ruby on Rails framework. Our hope is that by offering
professional training services accessible to everyone, we can help to
foster the growth of the Ruby on Rails ecosystem and our continued
happiness as developers working with a great framework.
Our first course runs over 4 weeks in Perth. I know that from private
training I ran for Daryl Manning's Getup! dev team in Sydney last
year, and enquiries made through our website, that there is interest
from the Eastern states. We would love to run courses in the cities
over East as well, but we need to gather enough support from devs
before crossing the Nullarbor. We've created an expression of interest
form on our website that I'd encourage anyone not in Perth but
interested in the course to complete. You will find the syllabus and
further details on our website - http://railstraining.in
Alex.
