Friday Tech Talk: Build Quickly—Don't Write Code
- February 15 · 12:00 PM
Sometimes, you want to build things fast.
Er, actually, that's pretty much all the time, isn't it?
This talk is about how to build Rails apps quickly by writing as little code as possible—standing on the shoulders of giants.
We'll take a tour through some of past development experiences (good and bad), dig into developer psychology, and walk through a few useful heuristics for making smart decisions.
Once SDW's own Jon Roes is done, you'll know the shortest path to a solid, maintainable app.

was a little odd for the topic to be changed last minute, but it was still good content.

Hey Rachel, sorry for the confusion. I actually just changed the name because it reflected one of the more interesting ideas I wanted to convey. I didn't change the content though, just the title slide.

ah! i obviously misunderstood. i thought we would touch on more specific framework choices as opposed to more general topics. still good content though! :)

It's possible Jon may spin this info out into a blog post. We'll update here if so.

No, the topic was as advertised. Jon's title slide was taken from the description above, "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants," that's all.

How long is this event? when I added it to my calendar, it shows it ending at 3pm. Is it really 3 hrs?

Nope. It usually lasts about one hour. Not sure why they're always scheduled for so long...

Never noticed that before. Default end time is three hours for some reason. One must manually set an end time, which I will do from now on.
