RailsCamp NZ 2014

Well, I had a great time at RailsCamp this year. RailsCamp is an unconference where a whole bunch of Ruby / Rails devs get together and give talks, hack on things, play games, drink beer and generally have a great time.

I have wrote up a fuller account over on the Resolve Digital Blog and some of this will be a duplication.

I had a great time hanging out with Tim from work. Tim is our latest recruit and an awesome dude as well as a great coder. He very kindly offered to help me get started building a native iPhone app for snowpool.. It’s not finished yet, but it’s getting there (all open sourced on GitHub).

The Kea were quite interested in my tent, very annoying as they came around at 6am pretty much and woke me up. This picture (of the tent) was taken by Kale Worsley, a former colleague and all round genius from Egressive days.

But anyway, it was a great conference. I’ll leave you with a couple more of Malcolm Locke’s excellent pictures and a final video of Tim playing his AirPipes app (which you can buy on the app store..)

Finally Finally, I must say, one of my favourite things about being in the Ruby Community is that it’s just _such_ a nice bunch of people. Really really good times. I mean just look at that group shot, pretty much everyone smiling broadly. Wonderful. More pictures (and some awesome astrophotography) on Malc’s Flickr Stream.
