Notes From The First Rails Online Conference
Rails 3.0
Earlier today the inaugural Rails Online Conf occurred and, Webex being a bag of hurt aside, it was a great experience. Basically, we got a high-level rundown of most of the big changes (internal and external) in Rails 3 from an all-star lineup of Railstuds. The slides are up on the site but if you want to save a single click-through, here they are again:
- Yehuda gives us the Rails 3 overview
- Gregg Pollack bats second with a spirited highlight reel of Rails 3 goodies
- Jeremy McAnally gives us the lowdown on upgrading from Rails 2 to 3
- Ryan Tomayko talks about Rack and Rails use of Rack to become more modular and extensible
Don’t forget to check out Jeremy’s upcoming Rails 3 Upgrade Handbook if you’re in the market for test driving all the sweetness Rails 3 has to offer. Jeremy’s a great writer and this 120-page manual is sure to impress.
The RailsConf program committee of Chad and Ben deserves a big “thanks” for putting on the online conf. My hope is that mini-events like this become more frequent in the future.
If you missed out on this event and aren’t a fan of visuals, you can always download the audio recording when it comes out.
