"Why Ruby On Rails?" Video - 3 - Rails Envy Information and

Last Thursday, March 15, I gave a "Why Ruby on Rails?" presentation to the Orlando Ruby Users Group. I've given Introduction to Rails talks before, so I tried to shake this one up and make it as ranty and opinionated as possible (It's more entertaining that way). Over 45 people showed up to the meeting, and I tried my best to preach the word.

Total Running Time: 28 Minutes

Definitely let me know what you think, or how I might improve the talk.... Feedback is always welcome..

This article is the second part of my series about Ruby on Rails Caching. If you have not yet read Part 1 you may be left clueless, so please do so.

In the last article we went over Page Caching, which involves taking the entire content of a page, and storing it in a static html file that gets read outside of the rails application itself. Page Caching is a great fit for the first page of your site or for your new member application form, but what if you need to ensure someone is authenticated or only cache part of a webpage?

This tutorial is going to address Action Caching, Fragment Caching, and even ActiveRecord Caching (only available in Edge Rails) which will complete our tutorial of caching in Rails.
