RubyConf 2007 Presentations Now Online
Posted by Sam Aaron on Dec 25, 2007
Confreaks, who provide recording and networking services for conferences have just recently released the complete set of presentations from this year’s RubyConf.
This year’s presentations are particularly interesting viewing, and there is a wide range of content available.
For example, Nathanial Talbott discusses why the lucky stiff’s Camping framework, a tiny ‘microframework’ for writing web applications which is less than 4k in size. Nathanial gives a live code preview of Camping, and then compares it with Rails: i.e. how Camping’s philosophy can be said to be minimalism rather than Rails’s convention over configuration
Other highlights include Ben Scofield’s presentation which covered language theory and how that relates to programming languages such as Ruby, and Evan Phoenix’s outstanding talk on Rubinius which many attendees described as the highlight of the conference. This presentation even includes some live singing by Evan himself.
Finally, this set of presentations includes Matz’s keynote which covers the future of Ruby, starting with the recent 1.9 development release, and the so-called ‘Town Meeting’ Q&A session where Matz answers a whole variety of questions from the audience.
