Get Lean: Slimming Down with Rails
Many tenets of agile development have been present in the Rails ecosystem from the beginning. There has been a evolution of practices stemming from Lean principles in the software world, especially in the realm of startups. This tutorial will focus on these techniques and approaches and how they can be applied to the Rails stack to make your development more focused and efficient.
I have shared a github repo for this tutorial here: http://github.com/mghaught/getlean. It includes more detailed information on the tutorial for those curious. If you plan to attend, please look it over. As we get closer to the conference, the repo will hold the exercises and sample code for us to work with.

Important message and info was diminished by a slow and unclear presentation of the first half of the material, so much so that I think that some people lost interest, but the second half was presented more clearly and at a better pace. Good message, iterate on improving presentation, especially the first half, emphasizing benefits.
