So finally had a first hand run-in with Rails at last nights webtuesday, thanks to Patrice, based on his experiences of putting together list.blogug.ch.
Was interesting but sadly we didn’t really have enough time with the game starting at 6 – Patrice was able to give us a demo of what Rails (and rake) provides, the selling “Wow!” factor but there wasn’t enough time for much critical questioning, which has become part of what marks webtuesday – there are some very experienced hands attending regularily now, such as Urban, who only had time to question validates_uniqueness_of in regard to full table scans.
The next mission is tracking down some Python developers in Zurich – tip offs appeciated.
A big thanks to Eurospider for hosting it and kindly providing bbq and beer and the live match – couldn’t have been better.
