<p>When Ruby on Rails came out in 2004, the future of the web was uncertain. A few years later, with Rails 1.2, the framework placed its bet on the web’s architecture with a strong emphasis on RESTful resources and <span class="caps">HTTP</span>, in strong contrast with contemporary libraries that tried to circumvent the web by making every request a <span class="caps">POST</span> (I’m looking at you Java frameworks of 2004). Several years later, the web is still going strong, and the mobile space appears poised to heavily leverage the growth of the web, and is actually responsible for moving it forward.</p>
<p>In short, the bet Rails placed on the web’s architecture has paid off, and Rails is well-positioned to take on the new challenges posed by HTML5 such as offline-capable web applications. In this talk, Yehuda will talk about the challenges of this brave new world of HTML5-capable mobile applications, and demonstrate how Rails already has all the tools necessary to built them.</p>

<p>Two years ago close to a dozen experts gathered for the Battle of the Web Frameworks. Tempers flared as allegations were flung. Does Rails scale? Is the web a flawed applications platform? Do you need to be crazy to like Java?</p>
<p>This year we bring back some of the same experts along with a few new faces to the panel. It has been two long years and our industry everything moves at the speed of light, so with hindsight as a tool we will revisit some of the old topics and then visit some new ones. So please join us as our panel experts share their biased opinions on frameworks, languages, and platforms.</p>
<p>Moderated by: Robert Hanson, author of <span class="caps">GWT</span> in Action</p>
<p>Note: If you missed the 2008 panel, it was recored and released as<br />

<p>Yehuda Katz is currently employed by <a href="http://engineyard.com">Engine Yard</a>, and works full time as a Core Team Member on the Rails and Merb projects. He is the co-author of <a href="http://manning.com/bibeault/">jQuery in Action</a> and the upcoming <a href="http://manning.com/katz/">Rails 3 in Action</a>, and is a contributor to <a href="http://manning.com/mcanally/">Ruby in Practice</a>.</p>
<p>He spends most of his time hacking on Rails and Merb, but also on other Ruby community projects, like <a href="http://rubini.us/">Rubinius</a> and <a href="http://datamapper.org/">Datamapper</a>. And when the solution doesn’t yet exist, he’ll try his hand at creating one – as such, he’s also created projects like <a href="http://github.com/wycats/thor/">Thor</a> and <a href="http://github.com/sam/do">DO.rb</a> .</p>
