Scottish Ruby Conference 2010 sum up
Really impressed by the beauty of scottish architecture I was wondering how the Scottish Ruby Conference will be like.It has been held at the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh a really impressive location. With a history of more than 300 (!) years it is an organization contrasting the the baby aged computer science fraction.
The contrast of talks delivering bleeding edge content and rooms like the “old library” with the elegance and beauty of centuries made up an extraordinary atmosphere.
It was great to see so many well known faces in Edinburgh. I’ve met friends from many different places such as Berlin, Belgium, and the Netherlands. It’s always a pleasure to hang out with you guys!
The talks have been on a very good level.Beside Jim Weirich’s role playing talk about Rails and the ENTERPRISE (sound like “the Beauty and the Beast”, I Know) I really liked Elise Huard‘s talk “12 hours to rate a rails application“. This talk covered – beside others – how to use code metrics to find code smells, how those metrics work and which social aspect to keep in mind when interviewing the programming team of the app to be evaluated.
Certainly a highlight was the insight view of scottish culture with music a weapon fights. Have a look at scotruby’s flickr photos and see them in action. Awesome!
It was also very nice to hang out with a lot of new people in various situations. I really hope we’ll see next year at the Scottish Ruby Conference 2011!
