Speaking at Windy City Rails

20 Aug 2008

I just got word from the tribal council at the Windy City Rails conference that they have accepted two of my proposals. I will be giving my RailsConf 2008 talk “De-Railing: Smashing the Rails Stack” along with “Sleight of Hand for the Ruby Man”. The De-Railing talk is a security focused session on steps to take to ensure that your Rails application has what it needs to keep data safe from attackers. The Sleight of Hand talk is a session on metaprogramming tips, tricks, and pitfalls with Ruby and with Rails. Stay tuned for more info closer to the September 20th conference date.
