False Advertising

Some of you know that I did a session at JA-SIG titled 'Lessons Learned from Rails Development.' It went over pretty well. Some of the feedback was for "more technical details."

Friday I gave the same talk to CNet in San Francisco. Unfortunately it was during their normal "Friday Tech Training" time. This talk is not a tech training. You can take a lot of topic to go into more detail away from this talk (and thankfully I did see a few folks scribbling furiously at the right times).

You cannot go into sufficient technical detail in a 45 minute talk unless you constrain yourself to a ridiculously narrow topic. I'm serious. You might be able to get some good technical info about Migrations in 45 minutes. But you would be hard pressed. It would be hard to deliver outside a lab environment.

So, to the folks that were mislead about the nature of my talk, I apologize. I hope the funny photos made up for having to sit through an hour of me talking.
