Day 1 @ RailsConf 2007
Well I’m here, I got in late last night (about 3AM EST / 12AM local time here in Portland, OR). I’m staying at a hotel that goes by the name of “The Jupiter Hotel”. It’s a nice place, nothing that amazing but it does have a nice atmosphere and it’s within walking distance to the Conference Center.
The first day consists of two tutorials, there are about 8 but you can choose two to attend. I chose “Intro to Test Driven Development for Rails” and “When V is for Vexing: Patterns to DRY up your Views” The Test Driven tutorial was really good, I got a lot from it that I think will help my development. The V is for Vexing is a different story. The first half of this one was a bit slow, I didn’t get very much from it, I’m hoping the second half will be better. Were on break right now so after the second half I
I’ll update this after the second half is over.
UPDATE !!!
Sorry this comes a day late, the WiFi here is anything but reliable, and in my hotel it’s just non existent. I suppose I should also mention the local Brew Pubs here are quite nice as well, so you can blame them in part for this delay as well……
So, the second half of V is for Vexing was not all that much better than the first half. Now ow this could be just me since I just couldn’t hear the speaker that well. Now, that being said, there was some really good advice and some valuable examples so it was not at all a total waist of time.
