We all know Rails is one of the best - and most fun - ways to create a web application. Rails allows us to be expressive, speedy, and on a lot of days.. sane.

Unspace Interactive (Toronto, ON) recently lost a potentially great client because the client concluded that we were the only dedicated Rails consulting shop in the city. If we disappeared, who would help them?

We realized that the best way to help ourselves was to create competition!

Our solution to this is Toronto Rails Pub Nite. We were hoping 10-12 people would come, but it currently looks like we are expecting 50-100 developers at our inaugural event right after March 13th. This shows that Rails has awesome momentum, and a social meet-and-greet is the best way to encourage this. All Rails developers at ETech will benefit from helping to grow the development community, because it lends credibility to what we do. Let's discuss how you can organize Rails Pub Nite in your town!
