Ruby Developers take note:  Tropo is sponsoring  MagicRuby 11!   MagicRuby is a free Ruby conference produced by Jeremy McAnally taking place February 4th and 5th at the Contemporary Resort in Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Conference organizers have assembled an amazing lineup of speakers including keynoter and Ruby luminary Chad Fowler of InfoEther. Other speakers include guys from Github, Red Hat, Engine Yard, Envy Labs and Intridea.

One example of the amazing talks scheduled at MagicRuby 2011: our friends at Envy Labs are giving a talk about lessons they don’t teach in programming classes. It takes more than just technical skills to succeed at being a software developer. You may also need to communicate effectively, manage projects, train your clients, and mainly just play well with others. We developers are an anti-social breed who enjoy being left to our own devices, so many of these skills don’t come naturally.

Gregg Pollack and Caike Souza will give some tips to help software developers improve their craft and increase the odds of succeeding at our chosen field. They’ll also share some of the core principles that they hold dear at Envy Labs, and show how they implement them on a daily basis.
