Ruby on Rails, Refactoring Databases, and the Legacy System

Robby Russell — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 20:11:00 -0500

To avoid feeling like I have neglected my blog lately… I wanted to point out a few things.

First of all… there is a nice new book that was sitting at Powells technical bookstore just a few hours ago… and is now sitting on my desk. I read a few pages on the bus ride home today of Refactoring Database: Evolutionary Database Design. It’s a Martin Fowler signature book and you can read more by Scott W. Ambler (one of the authors) at Agile Data. So far it seems like a good book if you’re into database schemas and if your a fan of the Refactoring scene. :-)

In other news… Jeremy and I are preparing for our journey up to Vancouver, B.C. this week. Jeremy will be presenting his talk about i18n and Ruby on Rails… and I’ll be presenting my talk about using Ruby on Rails with Legacy databases. I look forward to meeting those of you who are making the trip to Canada on Rails (which is sold-out!) and if you don’t catch us there… we will also be presenting at RailsConf 2006!

If you’re going to be in Vancouver this week and would like to meet us for some drinks, hacking, or whatever… stop by on #canadaonrails (irc.freenode.net) and let us know. :-)

I just heard from Nathaniel Brown that there are only 50 seats left for Canada on Rails! Both Jeremy and I will be speaking there… and if you were not able to get tickets to RailsConf 2006 to see us speak… then you should head up to Canada.

I hope to see you there… :-)

If you haven’t submitted your proposal for speaking at Canada on Rails, you should do that soon! I submitted my talk, “How to Explain Your Obsession With _Why to Your Grandparents” the other day. I’m pretty sure that it’ll be accepted and in April I will be explaining to you how I tried to explain _Why to my grandparents.

Actually, the title of my proposed talk is, “Sneaking Rails Into The (Legacy) System.”

If you haven’t submitted your proposal talk yet… head over here (canadaonrails.com) and do so. :-)

I still think that I should have submitted my first idea… but my peers convinced me otherwise. :-)
