As it turns out, Chicago is not such a bad place for developers to hang out...

Shortly after the top ten indie Mac Developers hold a mini-conference for Mac Developers dubbed Evening at Adler here in Chicago, the Windy City will host yet another event with near celebrity status, Snakes and Rubies!.

This time from the Web Publishing World (Web 2.0), two celebrity developers Adrian Holovaty and David Heinemeier Hansson creators of Django framework and Ruby on Rails framework, respectively, will hold a public conference at Depaul.

Many other almost famous Ruby and Python developers already said they will not miss it for the world. Hey, even some Perl Mongers will show up. This may be the event of the year for next generation Web 2.0 indie masterminds to rub elbows. I wonder if anybody from out of town can make it?

Although, we do not have custom tee-shirts, trading cards, or nicknames like drunkenbatman, this still is an event no Chicago hacker should miss.
