LOGO A GO-GO

With a little help from 99Designs, AGiLE ANiMAL has a new logo - the fox.

We tried several animals of the agile nature and the fox beat out the gecko, the humming bird and a couple birds of prey. When it comes down to it, we thought clever was an important trait associated with foxes.

That, and those attentive ears really say "we're listenting."

RubyConf

RUBYCONF INDIA 2011

I'm speaking at RubyConf India 2011

As some of you know, I will be traveling to India in late May as part of an operational review of a software development team I put together for Castle Rock Research Corp. I will be visiting the offices in both Kolkata and Bangalore to meet the teams in person and initiate discussions with some partner organizations. In conjunction with this visit I will be speaking at RubyConf India 2011.

An introduction to MacRuby

With Apple launching the Mac App Store and with the release of Mac OS X 10.7 fast approaching now is the ideal time to learn a little MacRuby!

My talk introduces developers to MacRuby in a way that should allow them to start coding immediately. If you plan to attend, bring your laptop! I want everyone to code along as we write a "Hello World" app and the dive into something more advanced.

Once we get a little closer to the talk I will post some code up on GitHub, but for the time being the best place to get started is over on the MacRuby site or by reading Merbist's MacRuby book. You will also need to download MacRuby 0.10 and BridgeSupport Preview 3 to get started.

Update

If you missed the event you can find my slides and some sample code on the Castle Rock Research Corp GitHub account. Also, some photos of the conference have been posted to flickr
