The conference has just finished, and the first thing to say “it’s a must go conference for all of you developing with Rails”. These 3 days were plenty of good information and teaching. You can read a lot of things on feeds or blogs, train yourself about every thing in Rails but nothing worth the real contact with the community. 500 750 participants but only 2% of french people “mais ou est la communauté francaise rails ?” and 95% of Mac users :D. Berlin is quite pretty city to visit, that’s was a good plus :).

I will write a serie of posts about some interesting conferences I attended to :

• Scaling rails app
• Security (website)
• Capistrano 2.0 (you should use it)
• RSpec and its stories (good ideas, the best is coming)
• Tavnav and other italian widgets (DRY)
• Rails 2.0 RC (not a revolution, but many nice evolutions)

and maybe another one about feedback of business creation around rails app.

Other subjects I have watched but will not write about:

• Good practises (no big stuff)
• Ferret (previous post)
• Presenter concept (maybe a good idea but not convinced by the presentation)
• REST (already covered by many posts)

I have been disappointed by one thing, there weren’t any RadiantCMS talk :(.
