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.

SUMMARY:Don't Mock Yourself Out
DESCRIPTION:Presented by David Chelimsky (DRW Trading). Used appropriate
 ly, mock objects are a powerful design tool that can lead to highly main
 tainable applications. Used in the wrong context, they can lead to painf
 ully brittle test suites. Attendees will leave this session with more in
 sight into mock objects, and a better handle on when it makes sense to u
 se them.

SUMMARY:Writing Modular Applications
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jim Weirich (EdgeCase LLC). Many words of progr
 amming wisdom have been written to promote the idea of low coupling betw
 een modules. "Prefer delegation over inheritance", "The Law of Demeter" 
 are examples of these words of advice. To understand these issues, we wi
 ll look at the concept of "connascence" how it applies to creating modul
 ar Ruby programs.

SUMMARY:JRuby: State of the Art
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Charles Nutter (Engine Yard, Inc), Thomas Enebo
  (Engine Yard, Inc.). Since last year, JRuby usage has grown tremendousl
 y. We've also released more than a dozen releases, fixed hundreds of bug
 s, and committed thousands of revisions. In this session we'll update yo
 u on JRuby performance in real applications, show you what people are us
 ing it for like GUIs and games, and demonstrate how JRuby is improving t
 he Ruby and Rails worlds.

 d Test Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Noel Rappin (Obtiva). This talk explores what m
 akes Test Driven Development really work by showing what happens where t

SUMMARY:Quality Code with Cucumber
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Aslak Hellesøy (Bekk Consulting AS). Cucumber i
 s a novel tool for Behaviour Driven Development. While early BDD tools l
 ike RSpec and Shoulda are geared towards programmers, classes and object
 s, Cucumber nicely fills the communication gap between customers, progra
 mmers and testers. This session will change how you approach requirement
 s and testing of Rails applications.

SUMMARY:Rails Metal, Rack, and Sinatra
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Adam Wiggins (Heroku). Rails 2.3 introduces a h
 ot new feature: Rails Metal.  Metal allows you to build Rack endpoints f
 or selected URLs in your app and get a 2x - 3x performance boost. Even b
 etter: you can use Sinatra, the microframework that everyone's talking a
 bout, from Rails Metal.  Capture the speed and elegance of Sinatra from 
 within your existing Rails app!

SUMMARY:Advanced Performance Optimization of Rails Applications
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alexander Dymo (Pluron, Inc.). You know Rails 2
 .x is fast, but your application is still slow. This session goes beyond
  the basics and gets into advanced areas such as optimizing complex has_

 database use. The session covers performance-oriented development proces
 ses and tools. Special topic: optimizing for deployment on dedicated, VP
 S and shared hosting.

SUMMARY:Art of the Ruby Proxy for Scale, Performance, and Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ilya Grigorik (igvita.com). A high-performance 
 proxy server is less than a hundred lines of Ruby code and it is an indi
 spensable tool for anyone who knows how to use it. In this talk we'll di
 ssect three real-world examples: live A/B performance testing, extending
  functionality of existing applications, and real-time traffic analysis 
 and performance monitoring. We'll implement each example using Ruby Even
 tMachine framework.

SUMMARY:Webrat: Rails Acceptance Testing Evolved
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bryan Helmkamp (weplay). Webrat, a Ruby DSL for
  interacting with Web applications, helps you write expressive, maintain
 able acceptance tests while sidestepping the issues traditionally associ
 ated with in-browser approaches like Selenium and Watir. We'll look at h
 ow you can use Webrat to develop a robust acceptance test suite to ensur
 e your app stays working as you refactor mercilessly.

SUMMARY:And the Greatest of These Is ... Rack Support
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ben Scofield (Heroku). The benefits of Rack sup
 port in Rails have become increasingly obvious; Rails Metal and integrat
 ing multiple Rack applications have made possible architectures that wer
 e impractical before, and some long-held opinions are ripe for change. I
 n this session, we'll see how to set up this integration and explore rea
 l examples of how it can be used—including the rehabilitation of page ca
 ching.

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

 n engines".  Come see how.
