Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. Rails, Rails, Rails.

We passed through New York on our way up from Washington DC to Albany, NY State; a 3-hour layover gave us a chance for a quick meal (there's no better city for a choice of foods), and a chance to look through a book store (there's no better country to look through the shelves for the next trend).

Our Ruby course has been quiet so far, but here in the shelves in Borders right beside Penn Central Station have blossomed with books on the subject while other subjects have shrunk. A sign, I believe, that we've picked the right subject with Ruby and we'll be busy with training in the subject in the next year or two. I recall a similar slow take off in the early days of our Python Course but now it's one of our "winners" - from Edinburgh to Melksham and from Helsinki to - this week - Albany.

Update, January 2010 with two successive Ruby courses running with just a couple of days between them, I felt it was time to come back and add an update to this old article. We now have three distinct and different public Ruby courses - Learning to program in Ruby which is a training course for newcomers to programming, Ruby Programming - a training course in Ruby for those who have programmed before, but in a different language, and Ruby on Rails - an optional extra day for those delegates who will be using Ruby on a server in the Rails framework.
