RailsConf 2008 Day 1

Actual conference started today with very interesting and entertaining keynote by Joel Spolsky of Fog Creek Software. Today’s sessions were filled with deploying and business related topics and they weren’t awfully technical. I was hoping for more details, but that was not to be. Here’s a list of things I learned today.

1. Ferret sucks, so use Spinx.
2. Having more than 3 Mongrel running per CPU doesn’t do anything.
3. Image Science causes problems in production environment.
4. Explicit returns in Ruby function is much slower than just letting it fall through.

Today ended with the keynote by DHH. As always, I found his keynote to be entertaining, but somewhat disappointed that there’s no new Rails related news.

I hope tomorrow is better - it looks much better on paper…
