Presentation: "Rails 2.0: what's new?"
Time: Friday 13:00 - 14:00
Location: Franciscan II
Rails 2.0 is almost ready to be released. With it comes maturity and new features.
This session talks through the 2.0 changes - Resources, shortcuts, http authentication, security, exception handling and multiviews in Action Pack; sexy migrations, performance and other ActiveRecord updates just to name a few.
We'll also try to figure out if Rails is mature yet. I'll also propose a potential future for Rails, exploring who's using it, why they've chosen it, ending in the next steps for the framework.
