Introduction to Ruby on Rails

by Philip Nelson

1930, Thursday September 6th 2007

at the Edinburgh Training and Conference Venue

Summary:

This is mostly a re-run of "DB2 on Rails", a presentation to the International DB2 User Group (IDUG) in San Jose in May 2007. The database used is DB2 Express-C on Linux.

Here is the agenda for the talk -

• Introduction to Ruby
• Introduction to Ruby on Rails
• Integrating Ruby on Rails with DB2
• Developing a Ruby on Rails Application
• Using Ruby on Rails with Legacy Databases
• Deploying Ruby on Rails Applications
• Improving DB2 support for Ruby on Rails
• Ruby on Rails resource directory

Some of this may be unnecessary for the EdLUG audience : the previous time I gave this talk was to a group of DB2 people who had mostly never heard of Ruby or RoR.

After the talk, if folks are interested they can look at the current project I'm working on with RoR.
