Tech Session: Ruby on Rails
Hyderabad, March 14

This tech session is an introduction and tutorial on Rails. We'll start
out with an overview of the Rails system. We'll also take a look at the
diverse community that is making Rails so successful today.

Then we'll dive into Rails more deeply. We'll discuss Rails program
structure, configuration and conventions. We'll cover database migrations
and the basics of its three most important components: Active Record,
Action Controller, and Action View. We'll also examine how Rails provides
a Web 2.0 look and feel through integration with CSS and Ajax.

The tech session will explore Rails issues of testing, security and
performance. In particular, we'll look at RSpec as a testing discipline.
Then we'll learn how to avoid security pitfalls like SQL injection and
cross-site-scripting attacks. Finally we'll look at caching options that
increase web performance.
