“Dave and Chad brought us backstage and demystified some of the Ruby magic. Unlike the disappointment of learning the secret behind a magician's trick, the class made me even more enthusiastic about the language and the community. I now have a clearer understanding of the Ruby language and its surrounding idioms.”

—Ryan McGeary

The delivery was generally excellent. I found the conversation between both presenters very informative.”
