I'm looking forward to attending the first Ruby on Rails conference in Chicago in June. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of being at some of the early conferences on object-oriented programming (OOPSLA), agent technology, neural networks and Java (JavaOne). The early conferences are generally more technical and interesting because they're filled with early adopters who want the latest leading edge materials. As a technology matures, its associated conferences tend to be targeted towards mainstream participants who are more interested in high-level overviews and ROI case studies which bores the heck out of most techies.
Graham, be nice to catch up then, I will also be attending..
