I'd like to do a talk on a library I'm developing called Training Wheels. The idea is to bridge the gap between junior developers who understand the syntax but may not use OO or common idioms properly up to advanced rubyist level, and do it in ruby to boot! Training Wheels is a ruby library that can be run against your own scripts, libraries or applications that looks for common problems in rub...

Following the zealotry of the day will leave you with brittle and vulnerable tests after every...
