Exploring Rails 3 free online conference
Thursday, February 18th joint this fantastic online conference.
Rails 3 is taking its final shape, so there’s no better time to take a close look at the work that’s been done in the past year. Join us for a series of talks on everything you’ll need to get started with it – from creating a new application, to upgrading from Rails 2, to the foundation that makes it all possible.
Who’s Speaking?
Getting up-to-date with Rails 3
Speaker: Yehuda Katz, Engine Yard
Rails 3 is a lot of things. Yehuda will go through the important high-level changes, giving you a starting point for digging into the improvements the Rails team has made for Rails 3.
Rails 2 to the 3 (Abridged)
Speaker: Gregg Pollack, Envy Labs
This talk will give an overview of what has improved with a highlight reel of some of the best parts.
Why Port?
Speaker: Jeremy Kemper, 37signals
Rails 3 is the clear choice for new apps, but is it worth porting your apps running on Rails 2.3 and older?
Rack in Rails 3
Speaker: Ryan Tomayko, GitHub
In this talk we’ll take a look at Rack: why it was created, how it caught fire across Ruby web frameworks, and how to build Rack components that further extend Rails 3’s HTTP pipeline.
A recording of the conference will also be available to all participants after the event.
You will have access to it throughout the year.
