Last week, I was able to attend Euruko 2012 in Amsterdam with a few of my colleagues from Avarteq. We arrived thursday night, hence we missed the boat party at thursday night.
The conference was held in the Pathé Tuschinski. Pathé Tuschinski is a beautiful movie theatre. Nearly 600 attendees occupied the theatre, quite amazing, as the “Happy Friday Hug” depicts.
My favorite talk at the conference was “JRuby, dudes!” by Charles Nutter. He successfully gave an in-depth presentation of JRuby with practical examples. I also liked the beginner friendly talk “Ruby’s big men” by Elise Huard. Elise described in a simple manner the garbage collector in Ruby and its various implementations. As an iOS developer I also enjoyed Eloy Duran with his talk about CocoaPods.
The obligatory parties friday at Club Home and saturday at Roest completed the overall good impressions from Euruko 2012. Hopefully, I can attend Euruko in Greek next year.
