A Ninja's Guide to ActiveRecord

This lesson is one in a series from the Lone Star Ruby Conference Charity Workshop held in Austin, TX on September 6, 2007.

Presented by Rick Olson

Rick provides an expert walk-through of the ActiveRecord library, a key component of the Ruby on Rails web framework.

Rick is a co-founder of Active Reload and is also a rails-core member.

Author proceeds from this video will be donated to charity.

The Lone Star Ruby Conference 2007 team offered an evening session in advance of the conference. Workshop attendees were requested to make a $50 donation to one of five charities. Speakers included: Hal Fulton, James Edward Gray II, Bret Pettichord, Marcel Molina, Jr., Bruce Tate, Bruce Williams, Rick Olson, and Robert Rasmussen. These presentations were filmed and are being offered for sale through MindBites with all author proceeds being split between the five chosen charities:

* Capital Area Food Bank of Texas
* Lance Armstrong Foundation
* Habitat for Humanity
* Muscular Dystrophy
* Ruby Central

We appreciate your support!

I'm not a Ruby on Rails user but this really turned me on to using it. ActiveRecord looks like an awesome tool that really adds domain logic to your data. It's so opinionated and well-written with conventional classes and validations. Adds much to the functionality of rails code!
