And I took some notes. A larger post will follow here and on the imedo devblog
Overall it was fun. Good presentations, but the rooms were to small and there were not enough powerplugs.

Railswaycon is over

RailswayCon 2009 Berlin
May 25
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I will be attending RailsWayCon 2009 in Berlin
Digg – founder Kevin Rose talks about digg’s recommendation engine and how to improve the user’s engagement in digg and other social media sites like reddit. Some interesting insights. The recommendation engine is written in Python and not PHP. Maybe they were inspired by this book: Programming Collective Intelligence?

Oh well RailsConf is over. It should be more often. I really liked it alot. Very interesting and sometimes entertaining talks. I will be posting some articles about the talks on http://devblog.imedo.de and some more here within the next weeks.
I certainly learned alot and I just want to say, if you ever have the chance to see Justin Gehtland, go for it! He’s one of the most brilliant and funny speakers I’ve seen.
The hotel and service personal were all very nice. A very pleasant time overall. Can’t wait for next year.
