SUMMARY:Running the Show: Configuration Management with Chef
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Edd Dumbill (O'Reilly Media, Inc. ). Few comple
 ted Rails apps are architecturally simple. As soon as you grow, you find
  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
 ommands.

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: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: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:Building a Mini-Google: High-Performance Computing in Ruby
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ilya Grigorik (igvita.com). Let's build a mini-
 Google and compute the PageRank score for a 1-million page web – that's 
 a non-trivial challenge! High performance computing may not be Ruby's st
 rength, but we will investigate the available gems, tools, and algorithm
 s which make this a tractable problem (spoiler: it's possible).

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jeff Dean (Pivotal Labs). Erector is a pure rub

 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.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ryan Tomayko (GitHub). HTTP's basic caching mec
 hanisms have been around for almost a decade and still their advantages

 stem for classifying response cacheability, and argue that HTTP caching 
 should be a fundamental aspect of resource design.
