> SUMMARY:
> Ruby on Rails is the latest web framework that is
taking the
> development community by storm. It combines the power
and
> expressiveness of Ruby with a full stack, MVC based
framework
> aimed at making the typical database-backed web
application
> easy. It uses convention over configuration (no XML!)
and was
> created to keep the developer happy instead of the
compiler
> or vendors.
>
> In this presentation we'll take a whirlwind tour of
Ruby
> before doing a quick demo app in Rails. We'll talk
about why
> you should care about Rails, what its _not_ good at
right
> now, and what Java developers can learn from Rails and
start
> applying today.
>
