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: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:Are You Taking Things Too Far?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Koziarski (Koziarski Software Limited).
  Sometimes as developers it can be a little too easy to lose sight of th
 e big picture sometimes, we can get carried away with following the conv
 entional wisdom without thinking about why that wisdom became convention
 al.   Several great ideas and techniques can become huge time-sinks or d
 istractions if we're not careful.

SUMMARY:HTTP's Best-Kept Secret: Caching
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ryan Tomayko (GitHub). HTTP's basic caching mec
 hanisms have been around for almost a decade and still their advantages 
 and limitations are still not well understood. In this talk, we provide 
 a clear and simple explanation of how HTTP caching works, put forth a sy
 stem for classifying response cacheability, and argue that HTTP caching 
 should be a fundamental aspect of resource design.

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.

SUMMARY:Orchestrating the Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Matt Wood (Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute). Cl
 oud computing can help lift the burden of computationally heavy tasks su
 ch as encoding, indexing or scientific analysis. This talk aims to intro

 ond. We'll illustrate with a real world example, building a full human g
 enome in the cloud, live!
