Ruby on Rails Conference and Ruby on Rails Workshops

Amy HoyApril 13, 05:45pm - 06:15pm

In short, she's a PHP developer-turned-Ruby addict. She has approximately six years' experience in developing for the web, and eight years' experience designing for it. Amy got into Ruby on Rails after reading that it was behind Basecamp, which she loved, and haven't really looked back. Amy is also in the process of writing a book for Pragmatic Programmers -- a "Right-Brained Guide" to Ruby on Rails.

Getting started with AJAX on Rails

Ruby on Rails is, in fact, the premiere web development framework when it comes to creating Ajax-enhanced web sites and applications. Even though Rails takes most of the muss and almost all of the fuss out of simple (and some not-so-simple) Ajax interaction, you still have to devote some time to learning how it all works.

If you're having trouble getting started with Ajax on Rails, or you haven't had a chance to dig in yet, this introductory course will get you going -- with Ajax basics, helpful info about the built-in Rails Ajax and Javascript helpers, and troubleshooting tips. And it'll be just the crash course you need to prepare yourself for Thomas Fuchs' " Advanced Rails AJAX Techniques" the next day.
