SUMMARY:The Renegade's Guide to Hacking Rails Internals
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Pradeep Elankumaran (Intridea, Inc), Michael Bl
 eigh (Intridea). While the convention over configuration pattern that Ra
 ils exemplifies gets much attention, Rails' incredible extensibility thr
 ough Ruby is often-times ignored. This tutorial will help intermediate t
 o advanced Rails developers understand, extend and bend Rails' internal 
 code, for those real-life problems when the out-of-the-box functionality
  that Rails provides is not enough.

 or somewhere in the wild. This is demonstrated with the mind mapping app
 lication "MindMeister".

SUMMARY:Advanced RESTful Rails
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ben Scofield (Heroku). Designing RESTful system
 s in Rails carries many benefits. It is not a problem-free approach, how
 ever; there are accessibility issues with the standard conventions, and 
 some functions are more difficult to map to resources than others. In th
 is session, we'll look at solutions for these (and other) problems that 
 arise when you take REST beyond the standard examples.

  from all over the world - both local developers, and more famous names 
 (including Koz, Jim Weirich, Bruce Williams, and David A Black) and, at 
 time of writing roughly 70 attendees.  This session will cover some of t

SUMMARY:From Rails Security to Application Security
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Carsten Bormann (Universität Bremen, TZI), Stef
 fen Bartsch (TZI, Universität Bremen). Fixing vulnerabilities does not m
 ean your Rails app is secure: Applications have their own security objec
 tives, which are as hard to nail down as other requirements.  Classical 
 security engineering can lead to an intrusion of waterfall thinking.  We
  discuss how to elicit actual security requirements in a small-to-medium
  enterprise and how to map these into actionable elements of a Rails app
 .

SUMMARY:Extending Ruby with Class
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tammo Freese (Freelancer). The dynamic nature o
 f Ruby allows us to extend the language itself. However, with great powe
 r comes great responsibility:  We should design our our extensions to be
  reusable,  and to play well with others. This talk shows Ruby's extensi
 on mechanisms from the meta level to hook methods and method extensions,
  and gives guidelines what  to keep in mind when extending both Ruby and
  Rails.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Adam Keys (The Real Adam). Complexity in softwa

 This presentation reviews those efforts and prepares you to deal with ti

SUMMARY:Stories on a Cloud - Distributed Browser Testing with Selenium
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Martin Sadler (CitySafe). Once upon a time ther

  our web applications run on them all (well most of them anyway!). With 
 the advent of rich internet applications, it's common to have sites whic
 h increasingly rely on Javascript. We need a way to ensure our apps run 
 reliably whatever the browser and platform.
