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
 n do we use a helper or a presenter? How do we keep logic and markup sep
 arate? What's this here new fangled boilerplate and HTML5/CSS3 thing?

SUMMARY:SOLID Design Principles Behind The Rails 3 Refactoring
DESCRIPTION:Presented by José Valim (Plataforma Tec). A huge step forwar
 d in the third version of the Rails 3 framework is the modularity it pro
 vides. This modularity is the result of a long refactoring effort to mak
 e it easier to extend or modify Rails to suit our application's needs.

SUMMARY:Progressive Rendering And Full Page Caching
DESCRIPTION:Presented by George Ogata (Patch). One exciting feature slat
 ed for Rails 3.1 is the "flush": pushing pieces of the view out early, b
 efore the view has finished rendering. Learn how to use this effectively
  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:Maintaining Balance While Reducing Duplication
DESCRIPTION:Presented by David Chelimsky (DRW Trading). The DRY Principl
 e (Don’t Repeat Yourself) tells us that "every piece of knowledge must h
 ave a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
 " A powerful guideline, but it is often heeded without a clear understan
 ding of its underlying motivations, nor consideration for other principl
 es that might lead the code in different directions.

  errors, and unexpected input? Learn how to write code in a straightforw
 ard, confident style that is more testable, easier to read, and easier t
 o debug.

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?

SUMMARY:Using Beautiful APIs to Split and Scale Your Application
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Crepezzi (Broadstreet Ads). Well-designed 
 APIs can double as a great way to help make scaling easier by splitting 
 your application in two.  This talk will discuss some new libraries and 
 techniques which aim to let you make the transition fun and manageable b
 y splitting your application horizontally, not vertically - into service
 s.

SUMMARY:Beyond MVC -- DCI
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mike Dietz (ThoughtWorks). MVC inventor Trygve 
 Reemskaug and James Coplien have a new vision for software, called DCI -
 - Data, Context, and Interaction.  Although as conceptually elegant as M
 VC, and with the same potential to improve software, DCI's innovations a
 re not easily implemented in Java or C#.  That is not the case with Ruby
 , however, which puts Rails developers in a unique position to lead the 
 way.

 ames backends share many aspects of normal web applications, but exasper

 NoSQL in order to reach 100,000 queries / second and see what we learned

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.

 ing sexy submit buttons, styling form elements, choosing and modifying t
 ypefaces, and styling Rails form errors.
