In Bob’s own words: “”" 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.
