10:15 | Just the Facts (and Dimensions) -- using Rails with your OLAP data model |
| I had the chance of beeing part of a team that pionered the field before it was called that (back in 1987). And now I need to do some more data analysis for the soon to be releases OSX RailsLogAnalyser application (Flex+Rails). Looking forward to this talk. |
11:30 | Rails Takes on the Enterprise with SOA |
| Rails is a tuff sell to the enterprise. They invested to much into Java and .Net, so even if Rails is often a good fit, it's not even considered. So any additional ammunition to enter existing enterprises is welcome |
