This morning I gave a talk on Rails to the NYC CTO Club. The slides for are online at http://www.io.com/~jimm/writing/rails_ctoclub/s5/index.html. Hover over the bottom right corner of the window to see the navigation controls, including the one that brings up the notes. Printing the slides works really well; the presentation includes CSS that formats the whole thing for print output. The main topic of interest (based on the questions and discussion that arose) was scaling and performance. Jim -- Jim Menard, jimm@io.com, jim.menard@gmail.com http://www.io.com/~jimm

"So...is it hot, or is > it not?"I didn''t get a "hot or not" vote out of the group. When we ran out of time, the group was hotly debating the "share-nothing" architecture philosophy and discussing the fact that pushing all the performance issues off to the database leaves you with a lot of serious work for large sites. The group realized that this is not a Rails-specific issue. Jim -- Jim Menard, jimm@io.com, jim.menard@gmail.com http://www.io.com/~jimm
