From the guys that brought you Scribbish (Jeff Hardy) and Haml (Hampton Catlin), comes the next wave of building awesome Rails applications. Using already familiar syntaxes and patterns that we all repeat in every application we create, smart defaults help to make the Controller of your application from a sprawl of code, to a mediator between your models and your users.

  • Take controllers with 100s of lines of code to 10s.
  • Instantly provide *safe* access to RSS, XML, and JSON feeds for your users.
  • Learn to build proper models
  • Use the infrastructure already provided by Rails in ways you have never imagined.

Jeff and Hampton will lead towards learning how to look at your application in a new light. If you've never done an application before, this is the wrong talk for you. If you are wanting to bring your Rails development to a new level and speed and be on the cutting edge of what we are building with real applications, then this is the session for you.
