RubyKaigi 2010

The scarily efficient organizers of RubyKaigi 2010 only took a few hours to publish the video of my talk on metaprogramming and the Ruby object model (slides and audio only).

Yesterday I also lived the Andy Warhol moment of my life when I signed the first hundred or so copies of Metaprogramming Ruby Japanese Edition together with translator Kado Masanori and Matz. I looked at the long line of people happily waiting half an hour to have their copy signed, and suddenly spending three years to write a book seemed like a perfectly rational thing to do.

Metaprogramming Ruby in Japanese is Out

This is selling great at RubyKaigi in Tsukuba. I'm a happy little author.


Big thanks to my translator, Kado Masanori, and my Japanese editor-in-Chief, Kahei Suzuki.
