After that, I sat in on Justin Gehtland’s talk on JavaScript. I have to admit, I was quite interested to see Justin in person. You see on Day 1, I spent my entire afternoon in the break out room next to his and all I have to say is, the man is passionate! A couple of times I swear he was channeling Emeril (BAM!) and I even detected a couple of Jim Cramer-esque BOOYAs… Needless to say, I was not disappointed. If you ever have a chance to see Justin live (like, say, RailsConf), do not hesitate.

The taking you through code and at the moment debugging and troubleshooting was
much more beneficial than looking at tons of powerpoint slides. Tons of helpful
information and great examples.--A student -
Try to avoid having your session at the same time as Jason Rudolph. Any session that Jason was involved with was packed to the rafters. I missed the end of his talk on Refactotum, but still came away heavily impacted by his dedication to testing and software craftsmanship. Some software quality guys make you feel ashamed when you drop the ball on code quality, but guys like Jason just make you feel inspired to take things to the next level.
