Antonio Cangiano’s Summary

Technical Evangelist and Software Engineer, specializing in Ruby and Ruby on Rails application development. Part of the DB2 team and initial author of the adapter for IBM DB2 on Rails. I regularly speak at conferences on the subject of Rails and DB2, and I've contributed to a couple of books related to Ruby (in English and in Italian). I'm the author of "Ruby on Rails for Microsoft Developers" published by Wrox in 2009.

I'm really interested in cutting edge technology, programming languages, algorithms, databases, Open Source, XP/Agile methodologies and the so called "Web 2.0". Beside Ruby, my interests are geared towards C# and the .NET framework, AJAX, Python and Django, databases (DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server), and mathematics.

I also like to follow the evolution of interesting functional languages like Haskell, Scala or F#.

Antonio Cangiano’s Specialties:

Ruby, Ruby on Rails, C#, .NET, XHTML, DB2, SQL Server and MySQL. I also have experience with mentoring and coaching other developers, and promoting technologies within the Enterprise and the development community. Technical marketing is definitely one of my specialties.
