RailsConf Europe: major program updates

RailsConf Europe is Speeding Ahead

The premier Rails event in Europe is rapidly approaching (17-19 September 2007, Maritim proArte
Hotel, Berlin) and the conference chairs have been adding some great speakers. Recently added
include:

  * Dr. Roy T. Fielding will be delivering a keynote talk, entitled "The 
    rest of REST." Dr. Fielding is the primary architect of HTTP/1.1, 
    and co-author of the HTTP and URI standards.  He is known to 
    Rails developers for having defined and introduced the REST 
    architectural style, a cornerstone of most modern Rails 
    applications and a huge influence on the evolving shape of the 
    Rails framework itself.

 * In "The Rails Way" tradition, Rails core developers Michael 
   Koziarski and Marcel Molina will host a session of live code-
   review and best-practices advice.

Co-produced by Ruby Central and O'Reilly Media, this is the largest European conference dedicated
to everything Rails. Whether you're a Rails hacker, Rubyist, web developer, web-based entrepreneur
or IT manager, RailsConf Europe will provide the time and place to connect, contribute and
collaborate with the growing European Rails community. You'll see how European users are applying
the Rails framework in their projects and businesses--and how they are achieving financial success.
