Bizness on Rails, Part 1: Why Rails is so Wicked Awesome

On March 3, 2009, Sandro and I gave a presentation at the University of North Florida, for a meeting of the Association for Computing Machinery.

The talk is split in two: the first half covers why Rails is so wicked awesome, the second half covers The Hashrocket Way, our company's not-so-secret, but oh-so-tasty recipe for Agile process management.

Here's a video of the first half. The second half will come out later, parceled out as a series of short-form videos covering Hashrocket's agile processes one-by-one.

Thanks to ACM and UNF and super-nice guys, Giancarlo Wieser and Jason Monsorno, for hosting us!
