    A Conversation with Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson

    Join us for this rare opportunity to converse with Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson on all things web development. We're hoping to touch on one or more topics such as the 2021 majestic monolith, JAMStack apps, progressive web apps, adjacent fields, methodology, and antitrust. What questions do you have for DHH? We'll prioritize questions raised by you when you register in advance, and also questions posed within Zoom. We are also ecstatic to have Heroku Data Infrastructure Engineer Valerie Woolard as our moderator. Valerie is also ACM's Local Mentoring Committee Chair. This event is powered by ACM Chicago.
