I've been writing dodgy code for as long as I've had a computer to write it on. Fortunately that hasn't been too long, so the damage has been mostly contained. I also work as a software developer at Unboxed Consulting.

Design patterns in Rails

As Ruby developers, we generally pride ourselves on the code we write: well factored, well tested and easily adapted to future requirements.

This talk is about moving beyond Rails conventions, and how OO design patterns can help you cope with software evolutionary requirements.
