RailsConf 2015: Coming Soon
By Steph Skardal
April 17, 2015
Next week, I’m headed to my 6th RailsConf in Atlanta, with the whole family in tow:
The gang. Note: Dogs will not be attending conference.
This will be a new experience since my husband will be juggling two kids while I attend the daily sessions. So it makes sense going into the conference fairly organized to aid in the kid juggling, right? So I’ve picked out a few sessions that I’m looking forward to attending. Here they are:
- Don’t be a Hero: Sustainable Open Source
- Riding Rails for 10 Years
- Scaling Rails For Black Friday and Cyber Monday
- Better Callbacks in Rails 5
- Microservices: A Bittersweet Symphony
- SVG Charts and Graphics with Ruby
- Building RailsPerf: A Toolkit to Detect Performance Regressions in Ruby on Rails Core
- High Performance APIs in Ruby Using ActiveRecord and Goliath
- What Comes After MVC
- Your Front End Framework is Overkill—Server Side JavaScript with Rails
- Bringing UX To Your Code
- Coding: Art or Craft?
- What I’ve Learned in 7 Years of Podcasting About Ruby
RailsConf is a multi-track conference, with tracks including Distributed Systems, Culture, Growing Talent, Testing, APIs, Front End, Crafting Code, JavaScript, and Data & Analytics. There are also Beginner and Lab tracks, which might be suitable to those looking for a learning & training oriented experience. As you might be able to tell, the sessions I’m interested in cover a mix of performance, open source, and front-end dev. As I’ve become a more experienced Rails developer, RailsConf has been more about seeing what’s going on in the Rails community and what the future holds, and less about the technical nitty-gritty or training sessions.
Stay tuned for a handful of blog posts from the conference!
