While Rails has been around for a while and is no longer the "new kid on the block", many in the enterprise space have yet to be fully introduced to the full Rails stack. This is geared towards those who have heard the hype, but have not yet delved into the details of what makes Rails such a productive development stack. This session is also geared towards those who have some programming background, but may not be familiar with common web development conventions, such as MVC, ORMs, CRUD actions, the response/request lifecycle, etc.


After this session, you should have a general understanding of how a general purpose web development framework such as Rails facilitates a productive development environment and the pros/cons of using Rails.
