T40: Ruby on Rails: A KickstartWednesday, Oct 25, from 13:30 to 17:00 Ruby on Rails is currently the talk of the town and the Rails community is growing very fast. Bring your laptop and take the opportunity to try this new agile web development framework for yourself in an intensive session with guidance and help from the presenter. You will get to know why Rails is such a productive environment, how Rails is built to facilitate test-driven development, how Rails works with both new and legacy databases and how to create AJAX (Web 2.0) enabled web applications with Rails. Intermediate: HTML and SQL-knowledge is needed. Experience with web development in environments like Java/J2EE/JSP, ASP or ASP.NET, PHP or Perl. Goals: The attendees will get practical experience with Ruby on Rails. Format: This tutorial will be very hands-on.
