Rails Rumble Announced

August 15th, 2007

There is a great little rails application throw down happening over at Rails Rumble in September. What a great way to spend a weekend and have some fun while creating a sample application and showing off how productive you can be using Ruby on Rails.

From the Rails Rumble website. “In a nutshell, Rails Rumble is a competition to test your Ruby on Rails hacking skills, build some cool new web apps, and make some friends. The concept is simple: you get 48 hours to design, develop, and deploy a web application from scratch. After those 48 hours are up, you’ll be judged by the community through a peer-ranking system in a variety of categories (see Rules for more information).”

“After about a week of controlled mayhem, judging wraps up and the dust settles. Winners are then declared, and awarded some cool prizes. We’ll be announcing what those prizes are shortly. Teams can consist of up to 4 people. Or sign up as a spectator and help judge. We’ll be rolling out the full suite of goodies soon, and if you add your contact info to the alerts list we’ll shoot you an email when registration opens.”

One cool thing about this over other similar events is that you can participate as a spectator and help judge!
