SUMMARY:Upgrading Legacy Rails Applications to Rails 3
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Clinton N. Dreisbach (Relevance, Inc.). Smart d
 evelopers have been using Ruby on Rails to rapidly build web application
 s for over 5 years now. Cutting-edge projects have aged into old, moldy,
  legacy apps. Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9 offer performance improvements and ne
 w features that are guaranteed to take the squeak out of that old wheel 
 and grease the tracks of new development.

SUMMARY:Building Bulletproof Views
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Athayde (LivingSocial), Bruce Williams (Li
 vingSocial). The Rails View layer is the Wild West. Bad mustaches, crazy
  fights over simple things, and complete and utter confusion abound. Whe

 arate? What's this here new fangled boilerplate and HTML5/CSS3 thing?

  to minimize your perceived response times, how it influences the way yo
 u factor your application, and how it can complement other existing cach
 ing techniques, such as client-side personalization and edge side includ
 es.

SUMMARY:Why You Should Never Use An ORM
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Nunemaker (OrderedList, Inc.). Having buil
 t two object mappers in Ruby (MongoMapper and ToyStore), I would like to
  throw out a crazy thought. What if, on your next project, you ditch the
  ORM.  No ActiveRecord. No DataMapper. No anything. Just you and a lower
  level driver, whispering sweet nothings into Ruby classes and modules. 
 Could you? Would you? DARE you?

 the future of stylesheets. Rails 3.1 includes it by default and the W3C 
 is adding concepts from Sass to CSS itself.

SUMMARY:Indexing Thousands of Writes per Second with Redis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Paul Dix (Flurry). Redis is well known for bein
 g a fast key-value store and as the fantastic backend for the work queue
  library Resque. The functionality and speed of Redis also make it a gre
 at tool for keeping indexes when your data-write load is very high. This
  talk will cover how we used Redis to build a system that can index thou
 sands of writes per second without breaking a sweat.

SUMMARY:Building Rails Apps for the Rich Client
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Yehuda Katz (Strobe, Inc.). We all know that Ra
 ils is great for building traditional web applications that serve dynami
 c HTML pages. But more and more, people are reaching to other tools, lik
 e Node.js, when they build web applications with a lot of logic in the c
 lient. People often use the argument that when you remove the view helpe
 rs, there isn't much of value left in Rails.

SUMMARY:Bridging The Gap - Using JavaScript In Rails To Write DRY Rich C
 lient Applications
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Thorben Schröder (kopfmaschine), Andreas Haller
  (kopfmaschine). When we build rich client interfaces in JavaScript for 
 our Rails applications today, we have no other choice than duplicating c
 ode and logic in both worlds. In this presentation we will show you how 
 to use Google's V8 JavaScript engine in your Rails application to elimin
 ate those duplications, write model code only once and therefore make yo
 ur code DRY again.

SUMMARY:TMTOWTDI: Making Those Tough Toolkit Choices
DESCRIPTION:Presented by David A.  Black (Arcturo), Jeremy McAnally (Arc
 turo). This talk is a discussion of those tough decisions that Rails dev
 elopers (new and old) face each day.  What test framework should I use (
 and why should I care)?  Does my templating system really make it harder
  for my designer to work?  Is Bundler really essential?  Two veteran Rai
 ls developers will discuss the benefits and tradeoffs (and share their o
 wn toolkit choices).

SUMMARY:Enough Design to be Dangerous
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jonathan Julian (410Labs). Developers are stere
 otypically bad at web page design. But armed with a fresh eye for design
 , and a little knowledge about css, we can shatter that image. Attendees
  will learn a few recipes to create pleasing page design - including mak
 ing sexy submit buttons, styling form elements, choosing and modifying t
 ypefaces, and styling Rails form errors.

SUMMARY:Building Pageless Apps with Rails and Backbone js
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Matt Kelly (ZURB). Make your users happy by bui
 lding webapps without page loads. People waiting 2,000ms or more for a p
 age on your app to load are losing interest and focus. Learn how easy it
  is to create an interface that responds in less then 100ms with Backbon
 e.js, a JavaScript library created to seamlessly integrate with Rails an
 d keep your JavaScript organized and readable.

SUMMARY:Craft, Engineering, and the Essence of Programming
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Glenn Vanderburg (LivingSocial). People really 
 get bent out of shape about what programming really is. Is is engineerin
 g, craft, art, or science?  Or something different entirely? But the rea
 l question is: does knowing what programming really is help us to be bet
 ter at it?
