Over the past year we have been working in collaboration with Made by Many on numerous projects. Most recently this has included the FiveFWD site for Channel 5 Broadcasting, which was deployed in partnership with Claranet.

On Wednesday 22nd of April we're going to be holding a Ruby on Rails Technology Briefing session at Claranet's offices (address below) in London.

The session will be an informal event designed for web developers, online publishers, technology strategists and business managers to come together to learn more about Ruby on Rails as a rapidly evolving framework and explore its relevance to doing business online.

Key speeches for the evening include:

• Rails Inside Claranet: Chris Cooke - Claranet's Rails developer & managed application hosting guru - talks about his experiences in developing Claranet's (very large) Rails application – an internal system which is being used across all of our European offices.

• Making the Business Case for Rails: Made by Many co-founder talks about his experiences in selling Rails as a strategic asset to both internal stakeholders and clients.

• Best Practice for deploying and managing Rails: Laurie Young from New Bamboo will talk about their experiences in deploying and managing one of Channel Five's largest websites – and recommends best practice for managing Rails in hosted environments.

...and importantly, drinks will follow the speeches in a bar around the corner.
