Do you see yourself here?
-
You have already built a successful web app, perhaps using Ruby on Rails. Now that you’re “done”, you know you can make it better, but you’re not sure how. You want to take your skills to the next level.
-
You recently graduated from Dev Bootcamp, Starter League, Mobile Makers or another school. You’re ready to meet and interact with your next generation of mentors.
-
You are no longer a beginner. You have seen advanced developers in action, and you are determined to get there yourself.
-
Software development is relatively new to you, and you built a successful track record in another profession. You want to meet people who can help you accelerate through the beginner phase so you can launch something useful.
Common thread: It’s time to unleash the awesomeness in your bones. You want to take your skills to the next level, and you are ready to tackle Big League Problems. WindyCityRails is for you.
What are Big League Problems?
You might think of a big league problem as a good problem. For example, the Rails app you built is pulling in customers, and you’re bumping into the limits of your software architecture. Who knew that so many people would buy from you?
Now… How do you scale? Do you buy more hardware, change your architecture, choose a new platform, or some combination of these? The speakers at WindyCityRails have vanquished these problems before. Learn from them.
Maybe you built a gem to solve a problem for yourself, and now you want to release your gem to the world. What legal questions do you need to consider? Did Rails face similar challenges in the beginning? Many WindyCityRails attendees have faced similar challenges. Come on out, network, and learn from them.
How about security? Have you outgrown the Devise gem? Or do you simply need to know more about Devise internals so that you can use it more effectively? Maybe it’s time to abandon username/password logins altogether and go with SQRL.
