Rails has accelerated quickly through the web development world, powered from a solid foundation of Ruby. Every month brings new tools, new techniques, and new understanding of how to use them. Everyone using Rails is on a continuous learning cycle—experts and novices alike.
The Rails Edge is a unique conference where we bring some of the best minds in the Rails and Ruby communities together with you in a single-track environment, so that we can all sharpen our edge. We hope you'll join us!

Who's It For?

- evaluating Rails for their next project
- seeking definitive Ruby and Rails advice
- sampling what's going on in the community
We Also Offer Training!
People often ask how a conference is different from our Studio training. Frankly, they're very different learning experiences and at the same time they complement each other.
In the Studio you get hands-on Rails training from two instructors, complete with step-by-step instructions and labs in a classroom setting.
The Rails Edge is a conference setting where multiple speakers present timely topics in and around Rails, not necessarily in the order in which you'd learn a new technology from the ground up.
In either case, as an alumni of any of our offerings, you'll receive the alumni rate at all others.
Your Registration Includes
- A continental breakfast, beverages and snacks, and a hot lunch each day
- A binder with all the printed material
- All the example source code to refer back to later
- Internet connectivity and power during the Studio
- An invitation to our alumni-only mailing list for help after the Studio
- Discounts on books, screencasts, and future training
- A stylish Pragmatic Studio t-shirt and more!
