      <title>RailsConf Wrap Up</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s a wrap up of all my posts from RailsConf 2007. (The ones with actual useful substance, that is.)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/17/drying-up-views"&gt;DRYing up Views&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/18/rails-2-0-details-from-dhhs-keynote"&gt;Rails 2.0 details from &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DHH&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217;s Keynote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/18/clean-code"&gt;Clean Code&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/18/adding-tests-to-legacy-rails-apps"&gt;Adding tests to legacy rails apps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/18/reading-code"&gt;Reading code&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/19/business-of-rails"&gt;Business of Rails&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/20/splunk"&gt;Splunk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/21/dealing-with-designers"&gt;Dealing with Designers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/21/javascript-fu"&gt;Javascript Fu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/05/21/the-rails-way"&gt;The Rails Way&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


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


	&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Better descriptions of the sessions and of the speaker&amp;#8217;s experience.&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Perhaps repeating some sessions at multiple times.&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Better planning of expected attendance at each session so proper room size could be selected.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ol&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s a number of talks I didn&amp;#8217;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&amp;#8217;s anything I can glean.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
