Here’s a wrap up of all my posts from RailsConf 2007. (The ones with actual useful substance, that is.)

• DRYing up Views
• Rails 2.0 details from DHH’s Keynote
• Clean Code
• Adding tests to legacy rails apps
• Reading code
• Business of Rails
• Splunk
• Dealing with Designers
• Javascript Fu
• The Rails Way

All in all, it was a fantastic convention. As can be expected, some presentations were better then others. Suggestions for next year include:

1. Better descriptions of the sessions and of the speaker’s experience.
2. Perhaps repeating some sessions at multiple times.
3. Better planning of expected attendance at each session so proper room size could be selected.

There’s a number of talks I didn’t get to see that I really wanted to. In the coming days, I hope to find their presenting materials online to see if there’s anything I can glean.
