I think it could use another month of refinement, but people seemed to enjoy it, and I actually enjoyed giving it as well. If you were at the talk, thank you for coming and feel free to let me know if you have any feedback or questions.</p> <p>My talk was <strong>Rails Under the Knife</strong>, a look at the some of the internals of Rails to get a better idea of 3 powerful Ruby techniques:</p> <ul> <li>Metaprogramming</li> <li>Reflection</li> <li>Blocks</li> </ul> <p>You can download the slides at</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/harrisj-share/oscon2007.pdf">http://s3.amazonaws.com/harrisj-share/oscon2007.pdf</a> (<em>5mb <span class="caps">PDF</span>!</em>)</li> </ul> <p>This talk is aimed at an intermediate Rails programmer who knows the basics of Rails coding (I have another similar talk for beginners called Rubyisms in Rails), but still is a bit unsure about the power trio of serious Rails hackery. Hopefully, this will help to provide some inspiration for you to delve into the Rails code on your own. Enjoy.</p> Thu, 26 Jul 2007 18:20:00 -0700 urn:uuid:7b7fce0c-25ef-4561-8ca1-6552ceb9e572 harrisj@nimblecode.com (Jacob Harris) http://www.nimblecode.com/articles/2007/07/26/rails-under-the-knife Programming ruby rails oscon http://www.nimblecode.com/articles/trackback/990
