Use All The Buzzwords: Backbone.js Over Rails In The Cloud

A couple of years ago I was a .NET developer writing enterprise MVC apps. That was boring. Now the majority of my app is JavaScript, I use Ruby on Rails as a database interaction layer, I write Coffeescript, HAML and SASS and I wear sandals to work.

In this intro level talk we’ll cover the various tools like Coffeescript, templating, and SASS that comprise my Ruby/JS tech stack. We’ll talk about how I switched to Ruby from .NET and what resources I found most helpful. Then we’ll look at how Rails can be a great back-end tool for building complex JavaScript apps. To round out the discussion we’ll look at how you can use cloud computing to deploy and manage Rails apps. As a bonus we’ll talk about a bunch of great gems that will make solving everyday development problems a breeze.

You’ll leave this talk having a basic knowledge of how to start using Ruby on Rails and with a list or resources and tools that will make your life easier.
