I invite you all to stop by and ask questions&#8230; and help the community grow.</p> <p>If there was one thing that I wanted to really express in my talk&#8230; it was that <em>you&#8217;re not alone</em>. You&#8217;re not the only one faced with a situation where you need to work around legacy conventions, opinions, and politics.</p> <p>...you&#8217;re&#8230; not&#8230; alone. ;-)</p> <p>Heading out to go see James Adam talk about plugins&#8230; !</p> Tue, 03 Oct 2006 19:50:00 -0500 urn:uuid:c0ea413e-6bf8-4902-88a7-6b1d47a205a0 Robby Russell http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2006/10/03/slides-rails-meets-the-legacy-world legacy databases ajaxworld slides talk rails development hope
