Charity at Scotland on Rails

Chad Fowler donated his talents to give an all-day tutorial for charity along with Marcel Molina just prior to the opening of the Scotland on Rails conference (March 26 - 28,2009), which raised funds for the Children's Hospice Association of Scotland. The tutorial entitled "The Secret Ingredients of Ruby" gave an introduction to Ruby's more advanced features. They raised £ 7,000 (pounds sterling) for the charity. Of note was the fact that the 70 attendees was actually larger than the number of attendees that came to RubyConf 2004 - just five years ago!
