Remember RubyFringe, the avant-garde Ruby conference held in Canada this September? According to most reports, it went down as possible the best Ruby conference ever and spawned some very interesting presentations - that those of us who didn't go wouldn't have seen.. Luckily, in conjunction with InfoQ, videos from RubyFringe are making it online - so far there are four to check out: Obie Fernandez - Do The Hustle : Obie Fernandez of HashRocket looks at how to sell and price development services. How do you deal with proposals, contracts, RFPs? How do you close deals? It's all in here. John Lam - Ruby Beyond Rails : John Lam (developer of IronRuby for Microsoft) talks about dynamic languages, and the challenges involved in developing IronRuby. Nick Sieger Interview : Nick Sieger is quizzed on JRuby, Java integration, and other Java / Ruby crossover projects. Dan Grigsby - Deployment Monoculture : Dan Grigsby on the concept of "trying out many different ideas before turning one into a startup." Dan is a very proactive and successful enterpreneur who has a lot of interesting things to say, particularly for those interested in building their own small, agile startups.
