Presentation: "Ruby on Rails - part 1"

Track:   Scripting And Dynamics

Time: Monday 11:00 - 12:00

Location: SAS Nortvegia

Abstract:

Application development for the Web seems to fall into either the quick'n'dirty camp with the likes of PHP or the hard'n'heavy with the likes of Java. But it need not be like that.

Ruby on Rails is attempting a shot at the creamy middle with a model for sustainable productivity. Judge the merits of that attempt yourself as you learn about the philosophy, practicalities, and how the code looks, feels, and runs.
