Day two of RailsConf Europe 2008 is over and so are my two sessions.
On tutorial day Mathias and I did a 4h workshop on deploying and monitoring Rails applications. The tutorial went really well, apart from the AirportExpress base station not coping with 100 laptops connecting to it. In the practical part we had a FreeBSD server with 40 virtual machines running and helped the audience deploy an example application with git or svn and Mongrel or mod_rails.
On day two I held my Security on Rails session where I go over the various attacks and countermeasures against Rails applications. This session was also well received and I hope I could educate people a bit about WebAppSecurity.
The slides are available as PDF here: Security on Rails (PDF) Deploying and Monitoring Rails (PDF)
Further, you can find both presentations at slideshare.

If you attended one of my sessions, I encourage you to rate them at the conference site.
So far my expectations have been met and I've could catch up with a lot of people. I'm looking forward to day three of RailsConf Europe!
