CUSEC 2006 in Montreal this past January featured a great line up of speakers including Chad Fowler, Kathy Sierra and David Heinemeier Hansson.

Except snow storms in the midwest kept David from making it, so with 12 hours of advanced notice, Rails Recipes author Chad Fowler flexed his jazz improv background by whipping up an entertaining, wise and cool-as-cucumber talk in place of David’s keynote. The result is Rails is Boring and Ruby is a Toy.

Thanks to SOENlive for making the talk available. You can get the rest of the conference by subscribing to the SOENlive podcast on iTunes.
