SUMMARY:Testing, Design, and Refactoring
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jim Weirich (EdgeCase LLC), Joe O'Brien (EdgeCa
 se, LLC). Everyone seems to be on the TDD/BDD bandwagon these days.  We 
 have gotten very good at the first two phases of the Red/Green/Refactor 
 cycle.  But in our push toward releasing new code and functionality, som
 etimes the Refactor phase gets the short end of the stick. Sadly, withou
 t refactoring, our code base can quickly become a nightmare of highly co
 upled, highly redundant code.

SUMMARY:Modeling Workflow in Ruby and Rails
DESCRIPTION:Presented by David Bock (CodeSherpas). Workflow is a broad c
 oncept, and there are many different approaches to it.  Our options in R
 uby, especially declarative programming, make workflow applications fun 
 to write, as well as very customizable without building huge "applicatio
 n engines".  Come see how.

SUMMARY:Advanced Views with Erector
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jeff Dean (Pivotal Labs). Erector is a pure rub
 y Builder-like view framework that you can use instead of ERB, inspired 
 by Markaby.  In Erector all views are objects, not template files,  whic
 h allows the full power of object-oriented programming (inheritance, mod
 ular decomposition, encapsulation) in views.  Among other benefits, Erec
 tor allows for inherited layouts and auto-closing tags.

SUMMARY:Running the Show: Configuration Management with Chef
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Edd Dumbill (O'Reilly Media, Inc. ). Few comple

  yourself using multiple subsystems and machines to scale, creating new 
 headaches in configuration management. Help is at hand! This tutorial in
 troduces Chef, a modern Ruby-based open source approach to systems integ
 ration. Chef lets you manage your servers by writing code, not running c

SUMMARY:Building Next Generation Web Apps with Rails and SproutCore
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mike Subelsky (OtherInbox). Future web apps wil
 l be built on the client-server model: faster, more fluid, desktop-like 
 apps that cannot be fully realized with traditional Rails techniques for
  building browser views.  But Rails is the perfect server framework to i
 ntegrate with SproutCore, an exciting new framework for building web bro
 wser clients. Students will build a full-fledged client-server app using
  both frameworks.
