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:Fat Models Aren't Enough
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jeff Casimir (Jumpstart Lab). "Fat Models, Skin
 ny Controllers" they scream. Pushing your logic down to the model layer 
 is a key step to improve testability, maintainability, and code quality.
  But many developers now have "junk drawer" models that don't realize th
 ese goals.  Having a fat model isn't enough!  Come learn techniques to r
 efactor your models and make them beautiful.

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:Confident Code
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Avdi Grimm (ShipRise LLC). Are your methods tim

 o debug.

SUMMARY:The Holy Grail (of Databases)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Eric Redmond (Basho). You must choose, but choo
 se wisely. The database world is larger than SQL v noSQL, and growing by
  the month. Choosing a data storage engine is an important decision, but
  it doesn't have to be painful if you know the landscape. If your unders
 tanding of data storage tops out at "Mongo is webscale" or "mysql + memc
 ached = win" then this talk is for you.

SUMMARY:Getting Started With JavaScript Testing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by CJ Kihlbom (Elabs), Jonas Nicklas (Elabs). Whil
 e most Ruby developers are very familiar with testing their code, JavaSc
 ript testing is still a new frontier for many. This talk will show you h
 ow to easily write and run JavaScript integration tests with Capybara an
 d Cucumber, and unit tests with Evergreen and Jasmine. The goal is to in
 spire you to get started with JavaScript testing, and point you in the r
 ight direction to go do it!

SUMMARY:Controlled Chaos: A Case Study Of Introducing Rails Into An Oper
 ational NASA System
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dan Pilone (Element 84, LLC), Jason Gilman (Ele
 ment 84). A case study in introducing Rails into a public NASA Earth Sci
 ence system. Despite a broad investment in Java, we conducted a survey o
 f modern development technologies including Flex, Django, JSF2 and Rails
 . We chose to move forward using Ruby on Rails with JRuby. This presenta
 tion discusses our experiences, including technical, process, and psycho
 logical, using RoR on a production system.

 Pattern)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ryan Smith (Heroku). A deep look into 2 common 
 performance problems web developers face. We will consider these problem
 s and then I will show solutions to these problems. From here we can gen
 eralize the solution into a pattern I call: The Worker Pattern.

SUMMARY:# Why RailsInstaller? Didn't Rails Win Already?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Nic Williams (Engine Yard). The path to bec
 oming a "Top Gun" of Ruby on Rails starts with first being interested in
  airplanes, flying really fast, and making smart-assed jokes like "There
 's two Os in 'Goose', boys." The achievements and glory seem to only if 
 you come first, "No points for second place." At the end of Top Gun, Mav
 erick gets the girl and becomes a Top Gun instructor. Time to teach. Tim
 e to share the wisdom.

SUMMARY:My Name is Trinidad
DESCRIPTION:Presented by David Calavera (GitHub). I'd like to move my Ra
 ils environment to JRuby, do I need to learn about war files and complex
  Java deployment environments?  Trinidad is a Rails application server o
 n top of Apache Tomcat that solves that question with a simple NO. In th
 is talk we'll explore the main features of Trinidad, how to adapt it to 
 any environment and also how to extend it to take more advantages that T
 omcat offers.

 ation code to be more modular and maybe even help out the community too.
