Sharing my Ruby Kaigi experience

Ruby Kaigi is an international Ruby Conference in Japan, Tokyo.

Ruby started in Japan, so Ruby Kaigi has excellent speakers and developers, and the organizer is really considerate by providing many platforms for people to know each other and provide technical sharing.

I wish this presentation can let more Taiwanese want to attend Ruby Kaigi.
