2012-05-02 : Dave Thomas Charity joins the Charity Tutorial

Charity tutorial choices have been pretty tough so far. You had to choose between Advanced Rails Design and a User Experience Workshop. We are very sorry, but the choice just got tougher.

We are throwing Advanced Ruby with Pragmatic Dave Thomas into the mix. Your choice.

Incidentally, we are not going to be precious about your ticket choices. If you change your mind about your tutorial, let us know.
