For Immediate Release July 1, 2011 Scholarships Offered for “Zero to Rails 3” Rails Training Ruby Powerhouses CabForward and Engine Yard Team Up to Offer Scholarships for Rails Training in Austin, TX CabForward, an Austin TX based Ruby On Rails training company, announced today that Engine Yard™ is offering free scholarships for developers interested in learning the Rails platform. Tom Mornini, Chief Technical Officer of Engine Yard™ states, " Ruby on Rails developers are a very hot commodity. With major players such as VMware, Salesforce.com, and HP making important industry moves highlighting Ruby as the language of the cloud, the job market will continue to show high demand for Rails developers. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to be an unemployed Ruby on Rails developer." "The growing demand for Ruby on Rails has been driven by successful companies who benefit from the speed and agility of building applications in Rails, which results in increased productivity and company growth. Many of the companies you all know and love use Ruby in some capacity: Amazon, BBC, Cisco, CNET, IBM, JP Morgan, NASA, and Yahoo!. Many of the fastest-‐growing web-‐based companies have been built using Ruby on Rails: Scribd (over 70 million readers each month), Groupon (over 38.5 million subscribers in North America), Basecamp (millions of users). All in all, more than 200,000 web sites are using Ruby on Rails.” Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-‐why-‐ruby-‐on-‐rails-‐is-‐hot-‐2011-‐ 5#ixzz1Qt1Ruibr According to Lance Vaughn, owner and founder of CabForward, “I continue to be impressed by Engine Yard’s™ commitment to the Austin Rails community and the ongoing enhancement of Ruby on Rails training programs.
