  Holiday Mixer @ Holiday Club

  0km away in Chicago

Watching us toiling in front of our double (or triple) screens brings a tear to his eye and reminds him of the elves he used to have whistling while they worked in his North Pole toy factory. But ever since the recent hedge fund takeover, Santa has had to outsource most of the toymaking and the remaining elves just handle inventory and customer complaints.

  Gary Levitt (of Mad Mimi) contacted Dave Hoover (of Obtiva) in early 2007 about building an email marketing web site in Ruby on Rails. In subsequent months and years, Gary and Dave collaborated almost daily in order to improve, scale, fix, and market Mad Mimi into one of the leading email marketing sites on the web. Dave will share his biggest lessons from this project. Most of the lessons are not technical, though Ruby and Rails certainly facilitated them.
