Talk 1: Leveraging Backbone.js Without a Full Rewrite

When client side development gets complex, Backbone.js brings a lot of positives in terms of organization. But is a full rewrite of your Rails views in order? Ben Willis of Manilla.com will show how they incrementally migrated their existing Rails views to Backbone.js without the need to fully rewrite them.

Talk 2: Q&A with David Heinemeier Hansson

Given the explosion of JavaScript client side frameworks, there's been a lively debate in the Rails community as to whether their usage provides unnecessary complexity or if  they represent the future of web development.

David Heinemeier Hansson will be doing a remote Q&A session (via Google Hangouts) discussing his opinions surrounding modern JavaScript frameworks, their place in a Rails application, and the future of Rails views. The format will be open, giving the audience a chance to ask their own questions. (If you're shy about asking questions, please send them to Jim Jones at Manilla and we'll get the moderator to ask them for you.)

About the Speaker

David Heinemeier Hansson is the creator of Ruby on Rails, a partner at 37signals, a NYT best-selling author, a public speaker, a hobbyist photographer, and a race car driver.
