Sessions at Rocky Mountain Ruby about Ruby on Rails and Backbone.js with video

Friday 2nd September 2011

• 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.

  • Backbone.js
  • CoffeeScript
  • CouchDB
  • EC2
  • Ruby on Rails

  At 9:30am to 10:00am, Friday 2nd September
