The Ruby Hoedown just opened for registration. Its all going down in Raleigh, NC on August 10-11 2007.

Its the South's own little Ruby fest and its gonna be awesome. Scheduled to speak are Marcel Molina, Jr., Bruce Tate, Ezra Zygmuntowicz, Jay Phillips, Ken Auer, and more!

The Hoedown is only $100, so go register fast, I'm sure its gonna sell out.

If RailsConf's size and attendance scared you, come see us at the Hoedown where it'll be a much more intimate gathering of fans of your favorite programming language. It's gonna be great!

Ok, its almost time for RailsConf. We're all packing up our goodies, and maybe cleaning up our apps to show off.

But what about doing a little coding on the plane? OMG, what if we need docs!!

Have no fear, heres how to generate your docs, to have locally.

rails fake_app
cd fake_app
rake rails:freeze:gems
rake doc:rails

Boom, there you go. Take a look in ./fake_app/docs/api and you'll see all the docs. Now your Rails docs are available locally to peruse while on the plane.

What about our Ruby docs? Just go to your Ruby library and generate the rdocs there.

cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8
sudo rdoc
cp -r doc/ ~/Desktop

Nice... now you're ready to get coding on the plane over to Portland. Or on your way home, after you've been energized.

• these instructions assume Mac Os X. From what I saw last year, a safe assumption.
