The First Rails 2.0 Screencast

akitaonrails — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 03:58:44 GMT

This is probably the first full featured Rails 2.0 screencast since the official Rails 2.0 release last friday (12/08). The original "Blog in 15 minutes" by David Hansson was made from the keynote he presented at FISL (Forum Internacional de Software Livre) in Brazil, back in 2005, when nobody knew what Rails was. So, I go full cycle revisiting the same blog application with the newest Rails 2.0 techniques. I apologize for my poor english, I did it without rehearsing, but I hope everybody can enjoy it.

David Heinemeier Hansson RailsConf 2006 Keynote Address

scoundrel — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 02:37:10 GMT

A bit about David, in his own words from his LoudThinking.com:

A product of Danish Design from the Winter of ‘79. Grew up, lived, and graduated in the city of Copenhagen, then moved to Chicago in November of 2005.As a partner in 37signals, I helped transform the venerable design shop into a product company. Basecamp, Backpack, and Ta-da List are all applications launched since the shift came into effect in February 2004. I did the programming for all of them. In July 2004, I released the framework Rails (also known as Ruby on Rails) from the work on these applications. I’ve been managing that as an open-source movement ever since. And lately, quite a few people has been taking notice. That means a bunch of speaking engagements including RubyConf, FISL, Reboot, OSCON, ETech, JAOO, and many others. In August 2005, I won the Best Hacker of the Year award at OSCON from Google and O’Reilly: In March 2006, I accepted the Jolt award of product excellence for Rails 1.0 and was featured in Wired magazine:

In addition to Rails, I’ve also created the most downloaded Ruby end-user application. It’s a small, light wiki called Instiki. I’m no longer actively developing on it, but still proud of how far I made it go. I even used it to write my final project towards my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Computer Science at the Copenhagen Business School.
