Adam Wiggins of
Heroku (a Cloud Computing service that charges as you scale) will be talking about the exciting mash of exciting technologies that power Heroku (
Erlang,
RabbitMQ,
Postgres,
Git) and about founding, creating and developing an ambitious tech startup.
Heroku is one of the most exciting startups out there at the moment because it makes the Cloud immediately available to Ruby developers everywhere. It also employs a host of really talented people who are experimenting with existing ideas of the way applications should be packaged and deployed.
