CRUD Is Not REST - Hypermedia For Y'All!
REST is an architectural style for distributed systems. However, many implementations forget about the distributed part of REST and simply map CRUD operations to HTTP verbs in a monolithic application. We're gonna go further and learn why hypermedia is the crucial part of REST architectures and how machines can browse resources just like humans using self-describing representations.
Monolithic applications are boring, so let's separate things and create a REST system as it is intended to be. Let's build a simple system using the Roar gem, Rails and Sinatra and discuss the benefits and drawbacks we get from distributed hypermedia systems.

Implementing Rails 3.1, Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, jQuery, Sass, and CouchDB on EC2
by Rod Cope
In under two months, my team:
- Learned all about Rails 3.1, Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, Sass, and CouchDB
- Wrote a new application that deploys open source stacks in the cloud
- Created some stacks (e.g., Rails, Tomcat, BIRT)
- Went to production on Amazon EC2
Come to this session to see what went right, what went wrong, and how this all compares to one of our other production stacks based on Rails 2.3, JavaScript, jQuery, Redis, and MySQL. In particular, you'll learn how to take advantage of some hot new tools while avoiding many of their pitfalls.

Cloning Twitter: Rails + Cassandra = Scalable Sharing
Cassandra is a highly scalable and fast database engine based on its column architecture. It's a powerful alternative to most RDMS systems. Adding it to Rails gives you a great way to get a scalable system with many rows that can grow to meet your needs.
