What’s happening in the Valencia region is truly heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the floods. In light of the situation, the difficult decision has been made to cancel Valencia.rb. We’re in touch with the local community and will continue to support them however we can. We’ll keep you updated with a specific date as soon as the event is rescheduled. Valencia, stay strong! 💔

⏰ Just 6 days left until the kickoff of the Spain Triangle project! It’s the perfect time to introduce our incredible speakers! 🎤 Roman S. from SoftServe - Roman is a seasoned software developer and mentor with a passion for performance and the creator of the Rage framework. His programming journey began in 2010 with C++ and Java, but he quickly found his home in Ruby. As his skills grew, he took on the challenge of developing his own framework - Rage, with the goal of creating something familiar yet fresh, giving companies one more reason to stay loyal to Ruby.` 💬 In his talk, “Modernizing Ruby Systems with Rage,” he’ll dive into Rage's features, the problems it aims to solve, and share real-world results.` 🎤 Genar Trias Ortiz from Factorial - A full-stack developer, Genar is driven by a deep love for using tech to solve real-world problems. Not tied to any single language or framework, he’s all about finding the best tool for the job. He’s passionate about software architecture and is always pushing himself to learn more, especially in the open-source world. Right now, he’s exploring local-first frontend databases and diving into AI. When he's not coding, he’s a big fan of video games, cyberpunk, and sci-fi. 💬 In his presentation, “Life Beyond MVC: Scaling Rails Monolith for Hundreds of Developers,” Genar will explore the power of the Resource Registry – what he calls “the secret sauce behind Factorial” – which enabled him and his team to scale their Rails monolith while keeping it consistent. And last but definitely not least: 🎤 Mariusz Koziel – Mariusz’s programming journey began in 2007 and has led him to become CEO of Visuality . After witnessing the amazing growth sparked by meetups and conferences, he’s on a mission to boost Europe’s Ruby ecosystem through Ruby Europe. 💬 In his presentation, "Beyond Meetups: Creating a Ruby Ecosystem", Mariusz will share the vision behind Ruby Europe and highlight the real, career-boosting power of meetups and conferences. One thing’s for sure: Barcelona.rb is going to be an amazing start! The only thing missing is YOU! Don’t miss out – secure your spot at Barcelona.rb today! And there's more!
