Tutorial Aftermath
September 3, 2008 – 8:58 amSo, yesterday morning (0830 CET, 0230 EST) was my tutorial on resourceful plugins at Railsconf Europe. Other than flying through the material and running short, it went pretty well. We ended up writing a fair chunk of code semi-collaboritively, so I’ve uploaded that to GitHub (I’ve also updated it a bit since the tutorial).
Here are the slides, though they probably won’t be all that helpful.
Also, as a result of the work we did in the tutorial, I spent a few hours today working up an initial version of a resourceful forum plugin. There’ll be a more official announcement sometime next week on Viget Extend, but if you’re interested in a preview take a look at this.

I attended your tutorial on RailsConf (which was excellent by the way). I find the concept of resourceful plugins very interesting and I want to hear if you are planning on writing a more comprehensive blog post about how you plugin-ify existing application functionality in a resourceful manner?

Thanks, Kasper! I’m happy to write up the process of extracting to a resourceful plugin—I’ve got a long flight home coming up soon, so I’ll try to find the time to work on it then, and should be able to have something up early next week.
