Description:
Introducing the idea of applying the ideas made famous by Ruby on Rails (convention over configuration, strong MVC, good plugin system) to the context of game engines via the Railgun engine.

This is a particularly sweet tool. I've seen the the Railgun engine in action; it's not a Rails app, but if you're familiar with Rails you'll find the same ease-of-use and intuitive assembly applied to cross-platform game development. Writing kick-ass games in Ruby made fun and easy.

I've seen David speak at both the Phx Ruby group and the Phoenix Dev House and he knows his stuff and is able to speak from a meta level having strong experience in other languages like Java. If you're into RoR this is sure to be an interesting advanced talk. sean

David's an eye shooter with the best of them, and is doing some particularly cool stuff with jRuby.
