Thanks for doing this. Should we distill talks down to a a slide of takeaways each? I honestly had a few that I didn't take a whole lot away from. I also like how you summed up the DHH vs. JS frameworks argument, if you'd prefer to sum up by topic.

Yeah, that's fine. I also was pretty light on some topics as well.

I did also threw in some humor into my slides to make it be a little entertaining. I'll take out some of the slides of after conference things though too. Let me create a new google doc, and you can start throwing stuff on there.

I've been going over the slides for the sessions I attended--definitely want to touch on the Sandi Metz talk and the "Delicious Controversy" of writing docs instead of unit tests--those two pair up well for discussion purposes. Otherwise, I think in addition to focus on the client side, a lot of what I attended boiled down to how objects are used in Rails, and how thinking about how we use objects helps with testing, the view layer, maintainability, etc. I can probably distill several concepts into a few slides around that.

Anyway, Google Docs doesn't like my slow hillbilly internet, so I can create a few slides around these topics tomorrow morning.
