Yesterday I gave a small presentation on migrations in Rails 2.0 for the Chicago Ruby group. It went fairly well I think. Not being the most in depth presentation… I hope that someone got something out of it. I think that the new Rake tasks were a little more interesting for the group to learn about than the actual migrations. Here is the slideshow ( I really suck at Powerpoint) and I’m sure it will also be available at the Chicago Ruby downloads page. Update: You can now view the slideshow here, courtesy of Scribd’s own ‘iPaper’.

I’ve been getting back into Rails lately now that school is over and with the new 2.0 release there has been quite a few changes. The biggest change for me is the whole REST thing. The concept doesn’t seem that hard for me, it’s the dang coding that is getting me hung up. Using the scaffold has let me see what rails generated code would look like, so that’s cool. My problem seems to be in that my controller is nested in a module for the admin section. To get me started I checked out the fantastic Peepcode episode on RESTful Rails and really hit it home with a screencast...
