Rails is not just Ruby

At yesterdays meeting of the Munich Ruby User Group, I held a talk on JavaScript and its use in Rails applications: Rails is not just Ruby (also see the Demo Project on github).

The talk’s first half is a general statement to take JavaScript development as serious as backend Ruby development is taken while the second half introduces three different approaches on how to deal with JavaScript in Rails applications: the classic solution, full separation and the use of explicit JavaScript controls.
