I am pleased to annnounce that I will be hosting a Ruby on Rails workshop titled Understanding Web Architecture Through Ruby on Rails here in Portland, Oregon on 1-2 September. Early registration is only $350, and will be raised to $450 on 18 August.
This workshop will be the pilot of my Craft series of workshops, aimed at raising the level of our craft not only as Ruby on Rails developers, but as contributors to the web as a whole.

- Architecture of Ruby on Rails
- Domain Modeling With ActiveRecord
- Creating Resources With ActionController
- Creating Representations with ActionView

UPDATE
Today is Friday, August 18. Today is the last day to sign up for early registration – $100 below the full registration price. If you had planned on attending but haven’t registered yet, now is the right time.

This is a great idea. Portland definitely needs a regular workshop for Rails—there has been a lot of rumbling about town, and I’m glad to see you’re stepping up to the plate to take it on.
