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: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.

 e.   The tools and approach are library-agnostic; they work well with jQ
 uery, Prototype, and others.

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

 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.
