Canada on Rails, day 1... part 1

Reading time: ~1 min ❓Shorter than a Rails console boot time

Here I am at the very first Ruby on Rails-related conference. My first passport stamp!

We’re half-way through the first day and as luck would have it, I’m starting to feel ill. Am taking a short break from the conference to catch up on some rest after opting to hang out with some great people last night. About twenty of us went out last night, which ten were speakers. There are a few photos up on Flickr.

This morning started with DHH giving a 90-minute keynote about the what Rails Core will be focusing on. It went well and I’m excited to hear that they’re going to break out some pieces into plugins. Goodbye, Pagination and Web Services!

David also had some kind words for people who don’t get and/or appreciate the Rails way of doing things…

DHH says....

Joe O’Brien followed him with a talk about Service-Oriented Architecture with Rails.

I’m going to catch up on some rest, work on my few slides and head back to the conference shortly. :-)

Hi, I'm Robby.

I run Planet Argon, where we help organizations keep their Ruby on Rails apps maintainable—so they don't have to start over. I created Oh My Zsh to make developers more efficient and host both the On Rails and Maintainable.fm podcasts to explore what it takes to build software that lasts.
