similar to: [FYI] Paul Graham RailsConf 2006 Keynote

Video of the Chicago RailsConf keynotes are now online. At least two of them, anyway. So far Martin Fowler''s (Chief Scientist from ThoughWorks) and Dave Thomas'' (author of Pragmattic Programmer and Programming Ruby among others) can be found at blog.scribestudio.com . You can find the general release schedule of the other speakers here:

I''m rewriting an application with the intention to use the elegant CRUD and REST design principles as outlined by DHH in his RailsConf Keynote[1]. The question is: how do you use those principles for an application that is of a sequential nature? The application works much like an MS Windows wizard: user begins at screen foo. After doing (or not) some stuff in screen foo, he is taken to

I''m watching the keynotes on scribestudio. I''ve found the slides for DHH''s keynote, but can''t find anything for Dave Thomas oor Martin Fowler. Are they available at all? Pat

Been thinking about something lately and wanted to hear what others thought. After watching the video[1] of DHH with the slides[2] I really liked some of the ideas presented. Many people have noted the ugliness of needing secondary actions since HTTP actions do not cover the full range of CRUDness (i.e. the "GET /people;new" and "GET /people/1;edit"). Also the need for

Fyi, the RailsConf ticket has been traded. Thanks to all the people who expressed interest! I''m glad I offered a trade in addition to just offering to sell the ticket! It was a great experience, and I got to meet a lot of people I think I''ll be working with, including Sarah Mei (the person I''m sending to the conference). If the logistics work out, I''ll be

Unfortunately, I can''t go to RailsConf either. I''m therefore offering my ticket for the usual $400 (list price). Please email me off list if you''re interested. Thanks. -- Graham

Hi! I have a seat at the international RailsConf 2006 in Chicago but for personal reasons I am not able to attend. The conference has been sold out for a long time so I am now giving you guys a chance to attend, if you are interested to take over my seat, just drop me an e-mail. More info on the talks, venue etc can be found here: http://www.railsconf.org/ -- Cheers, Joakim p.s. Save a tree

A friend of mine decided to get married on RailsConf weekend, so I can''t make the conference. I checked the website and tickets are transferable, so I''m making the ticket available to the highest bidder. The ticket was $400. I''m not looking to make a profit, but I would like to recover the original cost. Given that the conference sold out almost immediately,

Hi, everyone, I have a RailsConf ticket available for sale or trade (your time coding on one of my projects as an alternative to paying for the ticket. I''ll also consider paying for airfare, hotel, etc.). The ticket is $400. If you''re interested in a trade, check out: http://jennyw.dangerousideas.com/articles/2006/06/16/a-ticket-to-ride-the-rails-to-chicago Jen

Hi All, I saw spurious mentions on a few blogs of a DVD being made available of RailsConf presentations. However none seemed to have a who/what/when/where attached to them, thus might just be pure speculation. Anyone know of an official source/effort being made for a DVD? Would be well keen for copy if one is to be made available.... Cheers Rowan --- http://raili.st/ -------------- next part

Hi everyone -- In the excitement of the Chicago RailsConf and other recent events, don''t forget the excitement of RailsConf Europe! You''ve heard of it, but it seems kind of shadowy compared to the "big" events? Here''s the news: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It IS a big event!

I just purchased this ticket yesterday from another list member here for regular list price. I had some terrible family events come up late last night, and will not be able to attend. This comes at a poor time for me as I was working with some great guys getting a project built for RailsConf. The ticket is just the same price as normal, and what I paid, $400. Please let me know if interested.

Hi all, I have XiphQT installed and have some Ogg theora videos I would like to play in Apple's Keynote presentation software. They play fine in iTunes using XiphQT but don't work in Keynote. I have each video in two formats: (1) in a ".ogg" file, and (2) in a ".mov" file created by opening the ".ogg" file in QuickTime Pro and saving it as a

Hello folks, Another release going out based on the very limited work done at RailsConf. Despite all the fun and the talks I did manage to squeeze in some more defensive maneuvers for everyone''s favorite canine ninja, and sit down with Why and Rick Olsen to hook up the mongrel_upload_progress plugin. They quickly working to get Rails and Camping gear to do nice upload progress

Hey folks, Unfortunately I''m not at RailsConf but if there are enough people interested in PDF generation in Ruby / Rails, please consider using the BoF sessions or some other time to get together and share thoughts about how PDF generation in Ruby can be better, and then have someone post notes from your discussions to the Prawn mailing list[0]. There are already a bunch of folks

<gloat>Well, that''s me booked in for RailsConf in september :0)</gloat> Who else is going? Steve

Dear All - At the end of our RailsConf Speech on how we built a maintainable yet complex rails system (slides here: http://en.oreilly.com/rails2010/public/schedule/detail/14302), there was a large demand for us to open source our methods. As such, we are pleased to announce eco_apps 0.1. (http:// www.github.com/idapted/eco_apps) What it does: eco_apps allow you to develop an application

Chad Fowler gave two keynote presentations at CUSEC 2006 in January. The second one he gave was entitled "Rails is Boring and Ruby is a Toy" and is available through the SOENlive podcast. For those handful who might of not heard of Chad Fowler yet, he is the author of "Rails Recipes" which is presently available as a beta book. (Great book, you should get it out)

I don't know how many of you are going to be at ITEXPO/Digium Asterisk World in Miami next week - I hope to see as many of you as possible, though. There has been an interesting change in the line-up for the show, that I think bears mentioning here since it possibly will help quite a few of you in your discussions about getting Asterisk into your company. We've had the good

Hey Folks, I''ve been meeting lots of great folks at RailsConf and in my spare time hacking up this latest pre-release of Mongrel. It features the following new goodies: * Change to user:group is done *after* the socket is bound, but still as early as possible. * Mongrel will try to reap dead threads as soon as possible, especially when it gets overloaded with too many open files. *
