Saleh is talking about using a Daemon to get rails to talk to LDAP. The code for the LDAP deamon and the code to make it look like a model live here. I will add a bit of code here and there, but hopefully the presenter will upload the slides so I don’t have to…

Building Community-focused Apps with Rails Dan Benjamin
Sitting in the community app presentation right now. I was torn between this and the clean code presentation, but since we are building community apps this presentation seemed to be the most appropriate. Here’s the first slide: Fast prototyping Prototype becomes product Help Developers and Designers work together. I am hoping it gets better and…
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants Adam Keys
This session is totally packed. We managed to sneak in. The door guys don’t like that much. If there is a fire we will all die. Adam Keys is funny and entertaining “If you want to learn from the masters you have to read their code.” Read code because “you’re surrounded by idiots.” When you…
Two Revolutions Alan Francis
I tried to get into the REST talk but it is so full that they have guys guarding the doors to keep people out. I am instead sitting in an extreme programming session. I wouldn’t have come in here except I noticed that DHH walked in. I figure if he sees potential value in this…
OpenID and David Heinemeier Hansson

Rails Conf Day One Impressions
I ended up with a major migraine yesterday towards the end of David Black’s talk so I didn’t get a chance to finish up the post. Don’t worry I probably won’t. My overall impression of the pre conference tutorials was that they were aimed at beginning users. If you have background in any of the…
