You ain't gonna need what?
by Mike Loukides | @mikeloukides | comments: 9
One of the defining characteristics of the Rails movement has been its willingness to throw out the rules by which software developers and consultants have typically worked. Those rules typically produce big, overblown projects laden with features that no one ever uses--but which sounded good during the project specification phase. Build the simplest thing that could possibly work, and add features from there; say "You ain't gonna need it" when partway into the project, stakeholders come along with strange requirements based on what they think they might want.

RailsConf Europe Early Registration
by Allison Randal | comments: 0
The schedule for RailsConf Europe just went up last week. It's shaping up to be another great conference. A few sessions and tutorials that particularly catch my eye are David Heinemeier Hansson's keynote on Wednesday morning, "Meta-programming Ruby for Fun & Profit" by Neal Ford, "Offline Rails Applications with Google Gears and Adobe AIR" by Till Vollmer, "From Rails Security to Application Security" by Carsten Bormann, and "I Heart Complexity" by Adam Keys.
The early registration discount for RailsConf Europe ends on July 15th. You can save €150 by registering in the next week.
