Slides: Rails meets the Legacy World 1

Posted by Robby Russell Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:50:00 GMT

Just got back to my hotel room after giving my talk, Rails meets the legacy world here at Ruby on Rails seminar at AjaxWorld in Santa Clara, California.

As promised, I wanted to post some the slides from my talk today.

A few weeks ago, I announced the Ruby on Rails Legacy mailing list, which I also talked about in my talk. I invite you all to stop by and ask questions… and help the community grow.

If there was one thing that I wanted to really express in my talk… it was that you’re not alone. You’re not the only one faced with a situation where you need to work around legacy conventions, opinions, and politics.

...you’re… not… alone. ;-)

Heading out to go see James Adam talk about plugins… !

    Interested to hear about ror legacy apps. I was trying to use rails for an existing legacy app but ran into a problem with column names. We have column names like c$_foo and this causes ror to die. Interested in knowing if anyone else has solved this problem.

Share your thoughts... (really...I want to hear them)
