Just as the Bay Bridge is a vital artery connecting the vibrant cities of Oakland and San Francisco, the Ruby language provides vital connections in many different software contexts. Whether it’s running a powerful web app or getting a startup going, whether it’s powering automated tests or providing a robust back-end, Ruby is at the heart of many software teams.
Bay Bridge Ruby takes place on September 27 and 28, 2019 in Oakland, California.
We are celebrating the inaugural year of Bay Bridge Ruby with the theme “Building Bridges.” Building a bridge is a physical act and also a powerful metaphor. How are we building bridges with ruby and where are those bridges taking us?
Join us for a day of workshops and a day of talks by a diverse field of tech industry experts.
Interested in sponsoring? Here is our sponsor prospectus.
