Neo4j: Social Skills for Ruby Developers

From the description:

Ruby developers tend to be a lonely bunch. Slumped over a Mac in a dimly lit corner of a warehouse turned open-workspace. Unable to approach new people and introduce yourself. Unable to have a conversation that doesn’t devolve into an opinionated debate. Social skills are limited to what you learned from Manga. Unfortunately, you can’t use those in real life. Yet, one day, someone shows up and asks if you can build ’em a “social site” – you know, friends, activity feeds, jealousy. And privacy settings. “Me?”, you think. “You want ME to build you a SOCIAL site?” Go ahead. Reach for that bottle of Neo4J. Its time to celebrate!

About the Presenter

Prasanna Pendse (a member of the ChicagoRuby organizer team) was rescued from the mines deep in the belly of ClearCase, CMM, Digital Six Sigma and Waterfall five years ago. His newfound freedom at ThoughtWorks (ThoughtWorks.com) took him to such far flung places as China, Japan, India, Hong Kong and Malvern, PA. His travels brought him many points and upgrades, but the one thing that brings him most joy is Ruby! One day, Prasanna was slumped over his Mac in a dimly lit corner of a warehouse turned open-workspace when someone approached him and asked “can we make this social?”
