RailsConf Day 2 and 3

Needless to say, the day 2 and 3 of RailsConf was really really interesting. It was filled with really good contents, although I felt that there were too many tracks - I can’t be in two places at once…:(

Here’s a list of what I learned:

  • FUZED - clustering and scaling Rails apps using Erlang. It’s so awesome that I can’t even begin to describe. Check it out at http://fuzed.rubyforge.org.
  • Rails 2.1 has been released. It has new features, but nothing really to make me jump up and down about.
  • Skynet: Ruby Map/Reduce Framework - Simply amazing! Just google it and be amazed.

I really enjoyed James Lindenbaum’s talk on Mongrel despite the fact that the he couldn’t project anything thanks to the equipment provided to him by the facility. He did his best, but I actually felt angry that something like this would happen.

I’m completely exhausted and will have more things to post now that I have plenty of ammunition for next few weeks.
