A practical introduction to Ruby on Rails

Chris Tingley

Following on from announcing Ben's talk on Digital Identity and Dom's 5 minute introduction to Windows Azure, its good to be able to tell you about the second main talk of the evening. Chris Tingley is a Ruby developer with Workbooks Online and is going to build an app live (and without a saftey net).

A practical introduction to Ruby on Rails This live code demonstration will take you from your first line of Ruby code, through some fundamental features of Rails with pit stops in MVC, CRUD, REST, automated testing and meta-programming, crossing the finish line with a functional web app! Hold on to your hats, all this WILL happen in 15 minutes.

So far we have filled both main slots, but there is still a 5 min micro-slot that is begging to be filled (come on, you know you want to)
