So this Tuesday I had the honour of presenting at Montreal on Rails 2, where I demoed the Acts As Authenticated and Role Requirement plugins.
I think Marc Andre Cournoyer’s review impressed me the most, mainly that “…[it] is an exploit to be able to code a live app in front of a crowd like this.
“ It’s a testament to the power of Rails and I’m just glad the Roles portion didn’t bomb the way it had during my rehearsals at home.
I was especially impressed by Chris Scott‘s demo of the Ext JS framework. Sorry Darin, but there are some pretty nice features in Ext that will make me want to take a closer look. Terje Tjervaag’s demo of Firebug was convincing enough to make me wonder why I hadn’t already installed it yet. Used it at work today to great effect. You can read more reviews of the night here and here, while photos have been posted on Flickr and videos might pop up on Youtube.
