My role as Ruby Editor with InfoQ gives me the opportunity to learn about really new technologies and more importantly to meet some really cool people.
My latest interview is up on InfoQ now which is a talk with Jeff Cohen and Brian Eng, the authors of Rails for .NET Developers published by the Pragmatic Programmers.
It was a fun interview as it has a lot of the same person issues I went through learning Ruby and Ruby on Rails after all of the years of .NET.
