Rails

an

web
development
tool,
making
it
faster
and
easier
for
developers
and
their
clients
to
work
together
to
build
out
enhanced
applications.
The
Rails
framework
was
most
notably
used
to
develop
Twitter,
one
of
the
fastest
growing
social
media
websites
in
the
world.
CabFoward
and
EngineYard
recognized
a
need
for
quality,

Rails
training
in
Austin,
one
of
the
most
well-­‐known
and
fastest
growing
tech
cities
in
the
United
States.
“The
demand
for
Rails
expertise
far
exceeds
the
supply,”
says
CabForward
owner
Lance
Vaughn.
“There
is
tremendous
opportunity
for
developers
to
gain
business
and
build
amazing
applications.”

local
tech
rock
stars
such

Mattt
Thompson,
a
Ruby
hacker
and
iOS
developer

Gowalla

over
6
years

Rails
and
is
the
