This is probably wildly off-topic.... Where do we raise issues or suggestions for Ruby Australia in meeting it's core aims?
Today @dhh was tweeting that the "Rails job market still is [tight]". One aspect affecting this is the lack of new ruby developers coming in and learning Ruby. I feel that it should be the responsibility of Ruby Australia to encourage Universities and High Schools to teach Ruby as opposed to Java or PHP. I'm not sure about everyone else but my university taught PHP as a web language (and now teaches PHP/Java from what I can tell). I know that if I had been exposed to Ruby (or Python) at university I would have spent much less time faffing around making crappy PHP websites or alternatively being confused and overawed by those "enterprise" Java monstrosities. Has Ruby/Rails education advocacy been discussed as one of the goals of Ruby Australia? Should it be? -- Len -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
