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:Rails Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Gregg Pollack (Envy Labs), Andrew Smith (Envy L
 abs), Thomas Meeks (Envy Labs), Dray Lacy (Envy Labs), Christopher Green
  (Envy Labs), Mark Kendall (Envy Labs). Although Rails contains many web
  framework best practices, there are still plenty of ways to create horr
 ible code.  Fortunately, as the community has matured many new technique
 s have been discovered which can help keep Rails apps maintainable. In t
 his 5 part lab we will walk through the most common of these best practi
 ces and get some hands on experience refactoring Rails.

SUMMARY:Keeping Rails on the Tracks
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mikel Lindsaar (RubyX). It's not what you code,
  it's how you code it. In this talk, I'll take you through real world ex
 amples of code drawn from the 40+ production Rails applications we have 
 developed and maintained during the last 12 months and highlight anti pa
 tterns and examples of technical code debt in them. You do what you can 
 do to avoid these, making your future lives simpler. Your future you wil
 l thank you...

SUMMARY:Higher Ed on Rails
DESCRIPTION:Let's get together for an informal meet-up to discuss how we
 're using Rails, or how we could use Rails, in higher education. The foc
 us will be from an academic computing perspective - developing web appli

 other perspectives are also welcome.

SUMMARY:Why Can't I Test My JavaScript?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Greg Moeck (Strobe, Inc.). The Ruby/Rails commu
 nity is known for it's adoption of TDD,  yet that seems to stop at the b
 order that is our web browsers. The issue isn't testing tools, the brows
 er or the DOM. It's us. We write untestable JavaScript and our tests are
  yelling at us, begging us to change. Will we listen? Come and learn how
  we can push the Ruby testing philosophy into JavaScript, and impact the
  apps of the future.

SUMMARY:Test Your Legacy Code
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Noel Rappin (Obtiva). Everybody wants to do tes
 t-driven development, but switching to TDD or BDD on an existing project
  that doesn’t have tests presents special challenges. This session will 
 show you how to work around dependencies that make testing legacy code s
 o complicated. Topics include using Cucumber for black-box testing, usin
 g mock objects to limit dependencies, and using Ruby dynamism to cut thr
 ough problems.

SUMMARY:Migrating To Rails 3 - An In-house Developer's Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Chetan Krishna (OPNET Technologies, Inc), Mark 
 Johnson (OPNET Technologies, Inc.). As in-house developers we are consta
 ntly spinning up new applications to help run our business. Most of thes
 e apps share a common set of features. Our transition to Rails 3 has all
 owed us to start with a clean slate and rethink what works best for us. 
 We will discuss the base feature set needed for almost every app and how
  we use templates to quickly spin up a new app.

SUMMARY:Securing Your Rails App
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jim Weirich (EdgeCase LLC), Matt Yoho (EdgeCase
 ). Given the many features of Rails that promote good security, one gets
  the impression that your typical Rails web site is relatively secure. T
 hat impression is completely misleading.  Without paying deliberate atte
 ntion to security details, it is almost certain that your application ha
 s security flaws.  This talk will cover the ins and outs of web security
  and help you build a secure site.

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: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.
